Vibrant but hazy brick colour. Good head retention for such strength. Aroma of plum, tomato. It has a warm that is almost physical, like a wood oven. Alcohol, yeast notes come on strong on the palate. Warm malts - bread crust, date - fit into the mix. Light for its size.

Dark tan colour. Peppery, light caramel aroma. Good dose of yeastiness. Sourish finish. Not very interesting, but at least I didn't taste any mustard.

Dark orange. Slight white head. Vinegary nose, spicey, malts & honey-like (strange, no honey added on this). Sweet taste. With a punch - a good one. The aftertaste is peppery-spicey - but whether this IS valerian and lemon balm, I don't drink enough pharmaceutical concoctions to decide that. This is nice, anyway. Very rich mouthfeel. Spicyness keeps going on. Amazing, interesting, but the bed has to be near.

(Specimen 1 yr. old) Very little head, medium-thick bubbles. Straw coloured, very clear. Nose containing glue, organic solvent, yeast, banana, madeira. Some oxidation, sweetness is main taste, not cloying. there is a spiceyness, not reminiscent of mustard however. Aftertaste as of dessertwine, with spiceyness still present: a bit like a deliberately spiced liqueur wine, with honey. Rather good body, oxidation nothwithstanding.

Looks like cow urine, smells like lemons and oranges. Tangy, citrusy flavor, but lacking in anything interesting enough to make your tongue ask for seconds. This has a watery finish that leaves no trace of flavor on the palate what-so-ever. I won""t be getting this ever again.

Pale with orangey shine,nose sweet, banana-like. taste surprisingly bitter, as from roasted malts, liquorice very outspoken. Vegetable impression also, but not really reminding of pumpkin. Slight oxidation in example. Alcoholimpression,rather thin palate; aftertaste slightly sweet. NEW TASTING from the Mater plant Huge, transparent-fluffy head, fed by very furious to lively carbonation in clear golden beer with a pink shine. Smoked nose, delicately fumed but reverting to faint wry fruitaroma. Terrible, overpowering liquorice flavour, chasing some fleeting smoked and fruity hints. Scorched sugars, burning throatfeel. The creamy head tastes smoked, the beer scorched - and sadly ruined. I’ll keep the marks for the Assebroek version...

Sweet and dry Witbier with a citrusy aroma. Medium head over hazy yellow-orange color, and I had some kind of residue at the bottom of the glass. Interesting.

Shimmering light tan; aroma of coriander, biscuits, celery, lemon, leather and slight phenols. Very malty, dry palate with more leathr, coriander flavours are like chewing the stuff, bitter lemon rind in there as well, with a fair bit of styrians in the finish and some yeasty firmness. Interesting, assertive character.
