Smakerna ligger kvar länge på tungan, lagom syrlig och fyllig med mycket smak. Gott.

On-tap between Christmas 2011 and New Year in the Delirium Bar (upstairs tap room), Brussels. Pours a murky golden yellow with a thin white head that isn’t worth talking about: it had gone by the time I’d walked back to my seat and picked up my pen to take notes. The nose was regular Belgian, in a good way: yeasty, malty and hoppy all in one smell, not easy but some Belgian beers just do it right. The taste was an amalgamation of loveliness in a glass: all the flavours a good beer should have were here in abundance, like the smell they were all bundled up into a single taste and just seemed right. What a pity about the head!

Bottle for Saturday night after drinking wine all day. Pours dark brown with huge fluffy head. Tastes of toffee, caramel, fruity, and earthy. Nice finish.

Dusty basement and lemon zest. Clear amber, medium head, good lacing. Lemon zest and funk. Finish is rotten fruit.

25cl bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy orange color, small white lacing. Smell maltsa dn something weird and foul. Taste is the same: dry, sour hints, something weird and not nice. Low carbo and body.

Hazy yellow to orange colour with a quickly dissapearing head. Smells like sweaty feet, chinese food and other weird stuff. Tastes iron, sourish, bad, dry, rusty.. Not a good beer in my book.

Bright blond colour. Quite some sweetness in the aroma. Some hop too. Taste is sweet and has elements of tropical fruit. It’s a fresh, sweet IPA. Hop bitterness is slight making it an easy to drink session beer.

draft @ Delirium. Dorée avec léger brume, col blanc crémeux. Arôme est assez faiblard pour une bière d’hiver. Note ce profile belge typique, houblon citronné, très peu d’épices avec un houblon allant plus vers un houblon allemand. En bouche, levure belge, houblonné citronné, le tout présente une douceur maltée sucrée voire caramel. Houblon contribue à un ajout minime d’un profile épicé et fleuri.

Bottle at Home. Golden color with a medium white head. A pretty average pilsner, that totally lacks on bittering and aroma hops, as the sweet malty background dominates. Also a slight sour.

Bottle from Kiya. Fragrant aroma, cherry, spice, caramel and chocolate, raisin. Deep brown with orange tints and a high, fine head. Tangy and fruity flavor, with spice, chocolate, and some roasted character. Interesting. A bit of citrus too, hops, nice strong bitterness. High carbonation, rather light. Original. Some aspects like a blonde, some like a stout...
