Bottle: Poured a clear golden color with a white head. Aroma is skunky and harvest. Taste is a water grain. Not a lot of substance to talk about.

Bottled. Clear golden, minimal head. cardboardy nose with a bit of apples. Light bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Suffering from lack of hops that can hide the shortcomings in the malt department and the unclean fruitiness. A dull pale lager, though I’d guess it’s top feremented.

Bottled. Hazy pale amber, rich airy head. Sweat, orangey hop aroma. Medium sweet and fairly light bodied with clean rounded mouthfeel. Refreshing, mildly spicy and hoppy. A well balanced very enjoyable beer.

Bottled. Hazy golden, fair sized head. Aroms of oraneg and licorice. Dry and hoppy with clean mouthfeel. Strongotes of almondy yeast and black currant. Strikingly bitter finish.Whatr it lacks in malt depth is recovered by the wealth of hop and yeast flavours.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Dark brown with lasting dark beige head. Belgian yeast and malt aroma. Good dry mlat fruit flavour in mouth, with a decent mix of carbonation and hop on finish. a little bit syrupy on aroma, but dries out in mouth and is really a very drinkable dubbel. Good.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear gold if you don’t pour the yeast in. Thick white head. Strong blond beer in the Duvel style. Decent hops. Bit more yeast character than Duvel. Good stuff.

Tap. Cloudy yellow with a beautiful lasting white head. Odd aroma mix of herbs and cookies. Similarly the flavour is sweet cookies and bubblegum with an unpleasant herbal note.

Bottle. A clear, ruby beer with a big, beige head. Yeast clouds. Dried fruits, dark berries, a spicy touch and some yeast in the aroma. Dark sugars, a little spicyness and herbal bitterness, as well as dried and fresh fruits in the mouth. Full-bodied, rather sweetish with a nice carbonation level. Some alcohol warmth too. Bitter, spiced finsih. A classic belgian, pleasant and balanced on the sweet side. (080731)
