Cask handpull at County Hotel (JDW), Ashford. Golden, thick white head. Belgian yeast aroma, banana and peach. Soft in mouth, more peach/apricot on finish with tingle of hop and dryness. Good easy drinking beer and deceptively strong Belgian golden ale.

A little better than I expected. Powerful aroma with mostly fruit, light spice, and sweet malt. This doesn’t have the weird sweetness of Abbaye des Rocs, but is well balanced all around with the sweet fruit flavors. It looks good with an off white head but no visible sediment. Overall this is a very high quality Belgian ale that is exactly what I expect of this style. It is very good all around without excelling in any area. Rerate March 2007, in Belgium. Score unchanged.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is brown, with hints of dark amber and ruby. Nose is roasted with coffe, some tobacco and dark fruit. Taste is roasted and fruity with hints of dried fruit (figs, raisins) and coffee. Complex and very well balanced.

Brown red colour. Medium carbonation. A lot of fruits like raisins, plums, prunes & cherry. Almost overpowering or harsh. It has a good body and long finish, but personally this is the least good Het Anker brew that I’ve tasted! Still worth checking out!

Light delicate aroma, notes of banana, pineapple, flowers (maybe roses or violets), a touch of lemon citrus, and bread dough. A light hazy yellow that almost wants to glow orange, and a huge tight creamy head that is going nowhere. A light coriander spice nose shows up as some of the fruitiness subsides. Big sweet up front, strangely clean, with a tartness that feels like alot of alcohol whopping the sides of your tongue. Fair amount of hops in the finish, but they are quickly overwhelmed by a lingering fuselly alcohol finish. Let this warm for the fruit esters to really come through, particularly banana. Feels a little slick, lacking the airy fluffiness in the better tripels.

Bottled. Cloudy ruby colour with offwhite mediumsized head. Plum, sweet caramel in aroma. Flavour is plummy, fruity and a bit wheaty. Also raisins in the flavour. Sweet sugary aftertaste.

One of the best kerst beers I have ever tasted. This one deserves all the hype! Brown with creamy white head. Very filling and has a complex variation of the regular christmas spices. Long lasting finish!
