Another Carrefour find, this time served in the teku glass. This was a slow gusher and not so great looking, bizarre muddy gold?!?! Cool label of a cute woman and decent sub-2€ price. The aroma is bready, tomato-pesto spices, honey and unmalted wheat. Light bodied with a zesty mouthfeel. The taste is bready grainy sweet honey with a dab of fruitiness in the finish. This is a weak half-assed beer.

0.75 litre bottle: bought at De Bierboom, Brugge and shared between five at the Aug 2015 Shrewsbury bottle exchange evening. It was a gusher, so each glass had a huge rich tanned head on it’s swirling black beer. Nose of chocolate and tobacco, earthy and peaty. The taste followed the aroma closely ending with a dry finish. Good effort and plenty of flavour for such a weak ABV Belgian beer.

75cl Bottle from Prik&Tik Baelus. Hazy golden colour, fluffy white head. Aroma of grass, light pine, cat piss, floral, light malty. Flavour is light sweet, crackers, floral, muddy, sludge, yeast, some citrus, grass, firm bitterness underneath. Light bodied. Enjoyable at times, but the sludgy yeast flavour isn’t very nice. Get rid of that, and you have a fine pils.
