Bottled, brewed in Belgium, thanks oh6gdx! Clear golden, ultra-brief head. Buttery metallic nose. Sweetish with clean hard mouthfeel. papery and sharp, really metallic. Light-medium bodied. Industrial and simplistic.

Musty aroma, actually smells like a wardrobe full of dusty old clothes. Feels very stale in the mouth and has a very watery flavour with a slightly bitter aftertaste. By the way this was 15 cents per bottle from Jumbo Supermarkt.

Sample a few scant months beyond BBDate Little, fast dwindling yellow head over bright red-foxy beer. Vinous, slightly oxydized nose, like a sweet running cheese, with a fruity aroma, as from apricots. A soft cheese with fruit? Nice. Very carbonated MF, slightly sourish-bitterish overlying flavours over a rather sweet, malty, quite alcohol tinted taste. The different flavours have come very well together, giving a decent balance. The oxydation is quite apparent, even when not fully dominating. Fruitiness is less than in the nose, it has become more severe, dry, even when the alcohol allows for sweetness. Slick, carbonated, ending a bit empty. Another beer that is actually better by the oxydation. Sezoens - let alone the Quattro! - has become a rarity these days, and it is virtually become impossible to find a fresh sample. In this case, fortunately.

Hopfig-herber und erfrischender Antrunk. Zum Mittelteil hin getreidiger und etwas muffig. Im Nachgeschmack ist die Muffigkeit verschwunden, eine hopfig-bittere Note bleibt bestehen. In Ordnung, aber nichts Besonderes. Test vom 8.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,9,9,8,9 - 8,95

Canned. Pale yellow, fairly brief head. Aroma of rice and frui. Sweet and thin. Rather fruity with notes of menthe and vegetables. Watery finish with some plastic.

Bottle, 6%. Sweet, slightly fruity aroma. Sparkling dark golden colour. Big, stable, creamy white head. The flavour has some uncompromising bitterness, but is balanced by a slight fruitiness. The bitterness is like some German lagers. High carbonation, OK mouthfeel. Does not take particularly top fermented. Refreshing on a summer’s day.
