(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, golden beer with a huge, fluffy head. Has some honeyish sweet notes with an underlying spicyness. But very soft and harmonious with some late hops to balance things out. Another full-bodied and delicate Boelens ale - bought at the brewery. 100498

(Bottle 33 cl) Orangey golden, unclear with an extremely lively bubbly head. Sweet honeynotes making this very soft - pleasant rather than cloying. Has some of the rustic slightly musty notes you sometimes find in Belgian micros. Warming alcohol with a pronounced bitter finish. 191297

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful dark amber with a small, fine and very dense head, which flattens out as some sort of lid on top of the beer. Tart, spicy nose with a lot of sourness in the aroma - almost making this a sour Flemish ale. Appears filtered to begin with but turns a very hazy greyish brown if you pour the sediment. Traces of yeast even inside the bottles neck. A rather unusual yet interesting beer. 040505

(Bottle 33 cl) The type of beer that virtually "explodes" when the cap comes off. The foam floods out of the bottle and it just keeps on going. By the time, I locate a glass, only half of the original content is left. Aestetically, this scrapes the barrel: muddy grey-brown - pretty much the colour of Chinese river water. When it comes to the flavor it’s a bit like chocolate (milk), actually quite soft and malty with some bitterness. And a lot of sediment - like the bottom of the aforementioned Chinese river. At least a tea spoon full of it. 100104

Slightly aged sample - BBd + 6 months Gushing to fully flunky brown beer with olive shine and huge dirty-yellow head upheld by continuous carbonation. Sourish-phenolic nose, sulphury, cypress and laurel (bay leaf), berries, gooseberry. Quite sour taste, lactic and other organic acids. Pediococcus? In the depth dark and sweetish malts. Brown sugar too - the aroma, not the sweetness. Light body, allegedly partly by the acids, and slick, ’cobwebby’ feeling from the yeastload. I know sh*t of it, but Mr. Boelens, your beer has a yeast infection.

Distinct citrusy aroma. Yellow colour, small white head. Small bits of yeast at the bottom. Nice, mild citrusy flavour.

Very pale gold; small but dense, quite white head. Something DMS-like: sulphuric, cooked vegetable, specifically celeri, corn, and of course, coriander for masking purposes. This is like a celery extract - flavoured with coriander. What is happening in this brewery? How can they sell it? Light to medium bodied. According to the brewer, "I know b*ll*cks of it". Which still leaves him with an enormous yeast problem. Does he lager this coriander concoction for longer than 1 minute?

Bottle. Gusher. Very highly carbonated, everything churns in my glass. Little bits of yeast floating everywhere. Cloudy golden colour with nice, big, stable white head. Aroma is acidic/sour and perhaps also a bit malty. Refreshing acidic flavour reminding me of orange juice. This is good!

Bottle. Very highly carbonated, big head. Aroma fruity and sour. Very acidic flavour, a hint of strawberry. Tastes a bit like vinegar, but I like it. Possibly infected? Different bottle: Malty, perfumy/soapy aroma. Brown colour, small creamy head. Flavour also malty with a hint of perfume. Sweet aftertaste.
