not a very bright colour and too much bubbles - Not a very intense aroma, but little bit malt - bad bad taste, I can't compare the taste to an other beer, because it would be a disgrease to the other beer. -

This is for the stuff labeled as Scaldis for the US (dang A-B). AFAIK its still the same as Bush, just a different name: Orangey gold color, med thick lightweight foamy head. Earthy fruity aroma with notes of flowers. Very strong yeasty spicy flavor with a potent alcoholic burn, not unlike whiskey. Very fizzy - I could do without some of that extra carb. Bitter finish.

Copper coloured, no head that I remember (but with 12% beers you never know...). Fruity and surprisingly smooth for being this strong. A dangerous beer with some toffee flavour and a bitter finish.

2002 vintage sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Dark amber with small creamy head. Very sweet and peppery. Hugely malty, big on caramel. Some grassy hops. Salty and roasty with rounded mouthfeel. Bitter grassy finish. Despite it’s huge maltiness it is overly sweet and alcoholic.
Extra rating for Bush de Noël Premium, unfiltered and re-fermented in bottled, 2003 vintage:
Orange-brown. Very lively with rich head. Malty nose with ripe fruit and a hefty dose of alcohol. Loads of toffee, some red berries, very sweet - too much so. The rich malt flavours struggle to compete with the sweetness. Some grassy hops manages to shine through in the finish. This beer really needs to be rounded off, it begs for barrel aging. (6/4/6/2/11)

Yellow w/slight haze; aroma and palate of apricots, pears, pale malts, peppery alcohol, plastic, light bread notes. Flows from sweet and spicy to alcoholic, dry finish. Like Golden Monkey, this raises the bar for high-test golden ales.

Gold ale. Fresh hop aroma. Some malt in the body, palate not really aromatic.

Cloudy amber; aroma of alcohol, peaches, prunes, grapes and a depth of malt; palate of caramel, flowery hops, japanese apples, and a medicinal, essence-like cherry note like Belle Vue Kriek. The palate is smooth, and finishes a little bit like brandy.

Definitely noticeable alcohol presence, with a definite warming effect. The beer actually had a medium body, though, which made this brew amazingly easy to drink. Interesting hop character for a Belgian ale. Yeasty/bready aroma was typical for a Belgian strong ale.

Quite easy-going for its size. A muscular and complex strong ale. The name Scaldis is a load of crap, though. Just call it Bush like the rest of the world.
