Another underappreciated beer. Had it once before at jjpm74’s gathering in the summertime, it was brought over by a friend of his. I was impressed at the time and I am glad I got a chance to revisit it. It pours the most pale of golden colors, points just for being so pale yet still golden. It’s murky, cannot see through it and yet it’s such a light color, just a "wow" special kind of appearance. Small head only keeps this from a score of 5. Aroma is very peach, not sweet artificial juice but the light sweet skin of the peach. Think tropical fruit without the sweetness. Taste is herbal-sweet-yeast. Mouthfeel is pillow-y on the cheeks, light, and so damn quaffable. Low, low bitterness, and a light milk sweet aftertaste. Nothing mind blowing, so not "Imperial" in any way but just so damn interesting and fun. If it wasn’t for the price I would want to drink this all the time.
750mL @ Spuyten Duyvil, wine house glass.

Good, very dense yellow head, fully hazy orange-yellow beer (served to perfection by Nino at Sherwood pub, Nicorvo ). Oranges & other citrus, banana, very fruity & estery. Same fruitiness and esters, oranges, banana mash, fusels, ends on (unripe) bananapeel. Quite sweet-sourish with a good balance, helped by a feral bitter finish. Wheat slickness, lots of it, and well bodied. A rather good, if not very original Hefeweizen.

Good yellow-amber head; hazy orange-amber beer. Grapey, crude grape brandywine; oxydized malts. BItter, liqueurish taste, like a Cynar or something similar; with an enormous sweet malty underbuild, including coloured malts. Very alcoholic, alcoholwarming. Difficulty accessible beer, but it grows on you.

Yellow-brown head, black beer. Extremely liqueurish beer, vinous, liquorice. Alcohol, fusels; sweet like a sweet brandy-based liqueur. Dark fruit (prunes), dried and flambéed. Absolutely fiery MF. Alcoholwarming². Superb, but difficult beer; maybe a tad too sweet, but all the same impressive. I got a slightly different, experimental version, characterized by the smaller bottle with white plastic cap.

Medium beige head over black-looking beer with red-amber highlights. Smoked, ashes as from a BBQ-grill, but all the malts seem disappeared. Smoked, tobacco, a pinch of hops and chocolater; lactic acid in the finish. Burning MF - not too much - well-bodied and slick. Extraordinary (not even counting the label) but not really great. The wrapping paper is an absolute hoot - worth an extra point.

Getestet beimn LCRBM Leicht malzig, man merkt, dass da noch etwas kommen wird. Der Alkohol verbindet sich mit einer fruchtigen Note, trotz des starken Alkoholaromas ausbalanciert. Lecker! Test vom 10.9.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,10,11,12,-,11 - 10,47

bottle shared by thedm and hotstuff - This beer comes with really cool packaging. I’ve got to love the paper wrapping with the dragon theme. It pours murky light brown with a thin head. The aroma is yeast and malt with little if any blueberry noticeable. The flavor is mostly caramel malt and yeast with some dark fruit notes, but nothing I could pinpoint as blueberries. It tastes more like the typical fruit notes one might get from the yeast. Pretty average.

Small offwhite head. Hazy orange-brown body. Acidic barn aroma with grassy hop notes and a firm maltiness. Dry-and-sweet malty taste with grassy toffee notes. Dry grainy grassy aftertaste. Very nice. Mild, drinkable session beer, except it’ll be a short session. (0.75l bottle at glouglouburp’s.)

Cloudy brownish color with floating particles, not nice to see. There is some malt and sweet caramel here, a very light fruitiness across it, a strange yeast but leaving positive traces. Quite strange but not bad.

Triple fermentation, one with blueberry syrup.
Cloudy dark amber color, with a purple shade. The aroma is not too strong, with some malt, caramel and yeast fruitness, but also some alcohol and light phenol. Full bodied, quite malty, well balanced between sweetness and bitterness, with a touch of fruit sourness, maybe from the blueberries.
For me, too much strong/alcoholic, but anyway it’s a good Strong Belgian Ale, with some complexity.
