(Bottle 25 cl) Comes as "Delhaize Witbier". This label contains absolutely no brewery information, but according to the "Proud to be Belgian" -site it’s from De Smedt. Which makes perfect sense since this brewery brews a lot of products for the supermarket chains "Delhaize" and "GB". Unfortunately this is a clear disappointment. Pale, hazy yellow with a pretty, huge head. But the beer has a very unpleasant tang of.... clorine! Yuck. Not recommended - but don’t stay away from other supermarket own brands - they’re often good value for money. 181096

This beer has a color that is somewhere between orange and amber and when poured in a tulip glass a huge off-white head. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, and spicy - I pick up peaches, oranges, and coriander. The flavor is sweet with notes of the alcohol, that makes its presence known by giving off heat, but also notes of almost overripe fruits, like peaches and apples, that have just turned a bit more sweet and mellow, than when perfectly ripe. In the end coriander gives it a dry end. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated.

(Bottle 25 cl) Amber beer with a beautiful retentive head. Appears watery in the beginning but then you’re hit by some dry, floral hoppiness. Nice and refreshing - and no stronger than pils, as the label says. Same family as palm and de Koninck. 300695

Hazy golden, honey-like color, firm small white head. Weak fruity nose with some grassy notes. Medium-bodied, hints of sugar then some fruityness and ending to hoppy bitterness. Quite drinkable and balanced but flavors could be stronger.

An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit - especially apples. The flavor is plainly wheat with a dry end and a thin body.

Copper brown, small creamy off-white head, lace. Interesting herbal aroma with leather and yeast. Hard thin mouthfeel: metal start, then bitter hoppy flavors and bitter aftertaste. Quite thin and carbonated. Like Belgium version of English bitter.

(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful amber colour, although the label rather confusingly claims that this beer is "light as a pilsener". I mean, whats the point in producing an amber if you’d rather it looked like a pils? Anyways, De Smedt didn’t succeed - this is an archetypical "Amber" or "Speciale" in the same vein as De Koninck or Palm. Small, creamy head. Some caramel sweetness balanced by some hoppiness. High carbonation. 120305 and 111199

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden with a huge creamy head. Quite some sweet malt in a delicious balance with the not too dominating hops. Spiced and very fresh but perhaps not the most outstanding of tripels. 200893

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown, nice full head. Malty caramel flavours although not very dominating. Some sugars but drier and less sweet than the similar types from Grimbergen and Leffe. Classical dubbel. 180893

Bottle. Malty, sweet aroma, some brown sugar. Dark chestnut brown colour.Unstable, fizzy, bright head. Dry flavour, bordering on harsh, hint of malt and acidity. I prefer my dubbels sweeter.
