Bottle shared. Pours unclear brown with a very short lived tan head. Aroma of malt, dark fruit, raisins, caramel, brown bread and toffee. Flavour is over moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Not a bad example of the style.

Thx! 33 cl. bottle sampled. Hazy orange. Smells is chemicals & cleaning products, candy & odd soda. Odd malty taste with sugar, strange herbal, spent malts, cleaning products, sweet,… Touch higher carbonation. Not enjoying this one.

Tripel with snow white head and yellow blonde colour, hazy. Fruity aroma of honey, orange, spices, overripe peaches, hay; fruity sweetish taste, smooth with some weird spiciness like in most of their other beers, citrus touch, medium hoppy finish with warming alcohol, not too well hidden. Off-the-track tripel, not my personal taste in this particular style.

Kameleon Tripel enriched with honey, since 2011. Thin, off-white, yellowish blonde head, yellow blonde colour with greenish hue. Aroma with (too?) much honey, hay, vanilla, peach, pineapple. Fruity onset with spicy notes, honeyish indeed both from malts and from actual honey, yeasty with a mildly hoppy finish, with a bit of warming alcohol, fortunately not astringent. Quite okay, if you are into honey ales.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
Spice beer with ginseng; snow white, regular, fairly thick head, pale yellowish golden blonde colour, cloudy. Aroma of sweet malts, apple, peach, liquorice-like, resinous and earthy spiciness which I suppose is the ginseng, lemon, hay, grass. Restrained fruity sweetness like the Amber, quickly drying under a sharp, resinous, medicinal spiciness like coughing syrup, medium hop bitterish finish. Out of balance but kind of in-your-face and certainly unique, the kind of beer you either love or hate. I kind of appreciated its special profile.

The dark counterpart of Kameleon Amber, with a stable, off-white, moussy head and deep but clear bronze colour. Aroma of iron, bitter chocolate, sage, caramel and jute; dry taste, metallic, nutty malts, some roasted bitterness in the finish, ending a bit wry. I liked this even less than their Amber, should get more body and more candi sugar.

Not really an amber but rather a blonde thirst-quencher. Back in 2006, I too the following notes: snow white, coarse head, warm yellow golden colour (not amber at all), more or less clear but cloudy after adding the yeast deposit. Aroma of apple and caramel but lots of medicinal solvents overpowering them, some hay-like hoppiness, cloves, liquorice, eucalyptus, honey, ginger powder. Sweetish taste, subdued fruit, smooth, low carbonation and (too) thin mouthfeel, strange resinous, liquorice-like sweetness sticking to the palate, finish mildly hoppy with some badly hidden alcohol. The current version has improved a bit: the resin- and liquorice-like, medicinal sweetness, like cough candy, has declined, there is more carbonation now and a somewhat better balance between fruity yeastiness and honeyish maltiness, with a more nutty profile; the finish is also more assertively hoppy, a bit peppery. I am convinced that with further improvements, this can eventually become a real good beer.
