Huge, slightly orangey head; orange-gold, clear beer. Bit biscuity nose (nothing to do with ageing). Fruity yeast-aromas take over (orangezest), but also spicey (garden herbs, like chamomille). Taste varies between malt, even grainy, and bitterish-spicey. Initial taste is aromatic-citrus, but gets retronasally overwhelmed by the spicey notes. At one point even quite hop-bitter, but this wears off. Rather light bodied. Bit of adstringency. Beer is quite aromatic, but pulls in too many directions at once. As if the brewer couldn’t make up his mind. The result is not balance, which characterizes most Slaghmuylder products, but indecisiveness.

An unclear brown beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of berries especially black currant, but also raisins. The flavor is of prunes and raisins on a slightly sour background.

A deep red beer with a beutiful beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, corriander, and plums. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of corriander and plums giving way to a dry hoppy end. The body is thin - especially considering the 8% ABV.

Huge, very thick head, yellowishhly tinted, slowly collapsing; very dark brown with deep ruby shine. Nose with brown candi sugar, rich coloured malts, spicey finish. Sweet, with roasted malts, just a touch of light-roasted bread or biscuits. Some liqueurish notes. Spicey, but no identifying. Well-bodied, chewy mouthfeel. Aftertaste has a suspicion of sourness, as well as bitter almonds flavour. Nice dubbel. This one was very fresh, but I know from experience this beer has quite some ageing potential.

An orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is of corriander, oranges, and yeast. The flavor is slightly acidic with notes of oranges and corriander. The alcohol is slightly felt as it runs across the tongue. It ends on a dry corriander note. All in all an OK beer.

Very dark brown with ruby-foxy shine; yellow-brown head, dissipating. Extremely fruity nose, combined with almost-American hops. GREAT! Taste is again fruity-estery-yeasty, but this time more banana or very sweet melon-like, and creamy. Outspoken sweet, hops gone as bitterness, but a certain aroma lingers. Retronasal some lemongrass. Creamy mouthfeel, bordering on the edge of capuccino-coffee. Finish is a bit empty, however. Surprisingly fruity beer. This time. It seems to change character every other year. Used to be the only Vienna-type beer in Belgium - less than 15 years ago. If this is still bottom-fermenting, I'm Manneke Pis.

Hazy grey colour with a very large dense white head. An odd colour for the beer, but it still looked pretty nice! Smells of witbier: corn, wheat and coriander seed are all evident. Light-bodied; tastes of corn, citrus, wheat and a bit of hops. Palate filled with spices (cloves), yeast and hay. A pretty good white, definately one to try. Overall a better than average beer...I find it a bit wierd to be under the Belgian Ale category, but whatever it is...it's pretty good! I got my 11.2 ounce bottle from Lee & Edwards in Roanoke, Virginia purchased by good friend and fellow ratebeerian JonR888710.

Love that aroma! Lemony and biting, could it be...Lysol? Think happy thoughts. Cloudy yellow body rich in yeast sediment. Flavor is citrus, with a crisp, sour, lemon feel and biting carbonation and acid at the back of the tongue. A medley of sharp, lively citrus awaits the lucky suitor of this quality Belgian.
