When you see the can, you can expect what you’ll get. This is really bad stuff. Water with a chemical aftertaste.

Bottle. Light color and white top. Good balanced between sweetness and bitterness.

Straw with a creamy head; wheat and citrus aroma; similar flavours with a smooth creamy texture; long tart and bitter citrus finish. Not exciting.

Dec 2009: Cork and Caged 0.75 litre brown bottle produced for the Delhaize Supermarket chain, this one was bought from their store in De Panne, close to ’Plopsaland’. Poured into four tulip glasses in one pour. Each glass had a slight haze, the sediment stayed mostly in the bottle. True blond in colour and with the normal snow white head. Yeast and hops with a sweet and sour (apples?) aroma from the brew. The bottle had a life until 14 May 2011, so it was young when comsummed (28th Dec 09). Fizzy, crisp and refreshing, but with very little body, flavour or substance. If it had been allowed to age a little it might have been better, but I doubt it. Cheap supermarket beer, the 7% isn’t detectable and the beer was frankly watery.

Oct 2010: Third beer in one of my ’random beer’ reviewing evenings. The 33cl brown bottle was a month out of date for this tasting. Poured into a stemmed ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ tulip it rushed out taking all the sediment with it. The body was therefore a matt old gold colour instead of a bright yellow, the head however was a lovely pure white foaming mountain. Belgian yeasts in the nose, with some alcohol esters as well. Typical tripel flavours, with alcohol up front more than most. Not too bad at all, a long way from the best tripel out there, but worth trying.

The second beer in a ’Random reviewing evening’ on the bottles best before date of 22 Oct 2010. The brown 33cl bottle was poured into a ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ stemmed tulip. The whole sediment base flew out of the bottle and the ruby red body in the glass was awash with floating lumps of grist. The head on top was a huge mound of tan coloured bubbles and as the beer settled the look got brighter and clearer. Sadly the beer just had a cheap feel to it, the smell was a sweet almost sickly yeast mix. The taste was also very sweet and sickly, it had a nasty bilious aftertaste too. Not impressed at all.

Dumpy 33cl brown bottle, produced for the supermarket chain ’Delhaze’. The best before date was 15 July 2010, it was reviewed and poured into a Duvel glass on 7 Dec 2010, so a little out of date. A Christmas beer (the label and name gives it away somewhat!), lets hope it’s Angelic. I was doing well with the pouring, then a large amount of sediment gushed out of the bottle to contaminate the glass, this obviously tainted and dulled the body of the beer. The glass now contained a murky, cloudy bland orange coloured liquid with lumps floating about trying to sink down the beer. A scummy head sat on top. True Belgian yeasty, beery smell, a blind tasting/smelling would have told anyone straight away a Belgian beer was in their hand. Duvel like in flavour, slightly sweeter and a little stronger in the taste stakes (maybe because of the sediment in my glass?). The alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering, blends in well with the zesty feel the beer has. Considering this is a supermarket beer, it’s good stuff, can’t remember what I paid fot it, but it wouldn’t have been expensive, I’ll look out for it again when next in a ’Delhaze’. What a pity the sediment got out!

Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels
Cloudy amber color, creamy head. The aroma is not very fresh; there is still some pungent fruity hop, but also light smell of dust. The mouthfeel is mellow, the flavor is also a bit puckery, with the malt; strong bitterness, and evident hop oils, but not much fruitiness.
Rough.
