A golden beer with a slight hazy under a thick white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of bog myrtle, but also some cloudberries. The flavor is sweet spicy and a bit perfumated with notes of bog myrtle and cloudberries, leading to a spicy bitter end. A very refreshing beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful dark golden beer with lots of stagnant impurities. Decent, white head. The bog myrtle (gagel) is very pronounced (much more than in the Danish "Porse Guld") adding an almost licorice-like, herbal character in both aroma and flavours. Very interesting. 040798

Bottle. Flowery mint and menthol aroma. Amber color wtih moderate head. Cherry mint flavor - slightly sour bitter hops finish. Very unique and interesting brew. Pleasant.

Recipe from Louis Meulders, Belgian Eminence Grise of homebrewers, brewed in favour of vzw Natuurpunt, a Nature preservation organisation for the Kempen area, brewed at the Proef after some first tries at Achouffe Good, very white and creamy-consistence head over golden-orange beer. Spicey, peppery, perfumed nose. Obviously the Myrica Gale , but do not think of the aroma of the plant in the open - fairly different. In the taste, the bog myrtle is unmistakable - resembling the smell of the plant. Also citrus and orange zeste flavours. Light MF, very refreshing. Original, spicey beer. Well worth looking for, but difficult to obtain outside its designated area.

Bottle. Sweet clove aroma with a hint of bog myrtle. Light yellow cloudy colour. Teeny hint of myrtle in the flavour. Peppery, slightly harsh aftertaste. 7 3 7 3 14

Bottle, 7.5%. Sweetish, almost perfumy aroma with a hint of dust. Hazy golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is slightly sweet with a mild bog myrtle finish. Clean enough but not powerful as such. 7 3 7 3 13

Bottled. Chunky orange appearance. Strong herbal aroma. Medium sweet with firm, clean maltiness. The herbal spices are very obvious but doesn’t get too much.

Bottle Large, rocky, off-white head, which is fully lasting. Yellow, hazy body. Grass in the nose. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish.

Bottle: Poured a hazy dark yellow beer with a huge head with incredible retention (I never though I’d mentioned that in a review, but the head was so persistent that it was still there 30 minutes after the beer was poured. The aroma is quite herbal and spicy, very different from the usual Belgian ale. Taste was also quite different with the herbal and spicy feeling coming out. I notice when I read the label that the beer does not contains any malt and has been replaced with a plant called ‘’myrica gale’’, which can probably explain the difference in taste and aroma. Different, complex and interesting…

Cloudy yellow color, frothy head. Aroma is yeasty sour, vanilla, herbal/vegetable. Sweet yeasty taste. Bit sticky palate.
