33cl bottle, BB 11/2014, gusher, lost 1/2 the bottle and found a hop cone. Great gimmick. Orangée moyen, col fin beige disparaissant vite. Arôme est assez houblonné sur des notes de renfermés avec ce bouquet de vieux houblon. Le tout est fleuri avec ce côté très belge. Palais reste bien effervescent voire de trop, houblonné amer, sec avec une levure qui reste présente couvrant un peu de trop le caractère de la bière. Houblon reste très typique et je m’attendais à nettement plus varié, retrouve l’habituel profil citronné, fleuri et ce fini grains/terreux.

33cl bottle @ home. Clear dark golden color, full sized white to off-white head that leaves fair lacing. Smell malts, some fruits, slightly herbal hoppyness. Taste malts, slightly sweet, lightly herbs and lightly some fruits towards the end. Medium a bit fizzy carbonation, medium body. Decent brew.

Deep, super dark brown coloured body with a violet and ruby tinted glow when held up to the light. Thick, three centimetre tall soapy light brown head that explodes from the bottle when opened, but fades fairly quickly. Aroma of tons of caramel, pit fruits, toasted malt, peanuts, earth, pipe tobacco and even some soy sauce and mushrooms. Medium-bodied; Earthy maltiness with a ton of sugars behind showing dates, figs, raisins, concord grapes, peanuts and a bit of lighter chocolates. Aftertaste shows some complexity with the chocolate and sweet notes front and centre with a little earthiness, yeastie qualities and a hint of peat at the tail end. Overall, a nice complex beer with a ton of various flavours from brown sugar to peat to pit fruits and of course yeast and malt - all showing some serious alcohol. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Bier Tempel in Bruxelles, Belgium on 02-January-2011 for €2,50 sampled at home in Washington on the other side of the pond on 20-October-2012.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Mageleno Blond (by Huisbrouwerij Sint Canarus):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.4/5
4/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 4/IV/12 (2012-1103)
Clear blond to orange beer, big crackling rocky head, keeps on growing, very stable, bit adhesive, lots of carbon pearling in the glass, more than a Duvel! Aroma: lots of white candi sugar, orange peel, coriander, some ginger bread. MF: lots of carbon, light to medium body. Taste: bit sweet in the start, sugary, some citrus, bit grassy, slightly bitter. Aftertaste: quite some banana, sugary sweetness, bit yeasty, little bitter. Highly uninspired and boring beer, not what we're used from Sint Canarus.

33cl bottle from HopDuvel, BB 17/10/2013. Dorée, col blanc épais collant au verre. Arôme est fruité, fleuri houblonné avec un léger grains et douceur. Palais donne de suite les notes d’un alcool réchauffant qui marque au premier abord. Le tout est sec avec un ajout certains des grains, léger sucré et une amertume houblonné pour des notes fleuries et fruitées en fin de bouche. Malt reste dans le style entre pils et pâle

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Bier Central // the foam keeps slowly sluggishly crawling out of the bottle, maybe it is the hop they put into the bottle or something // hazy golden with a BIG head obviously, piece of hops stuck in the head which was a bit unnerving because I didn’t know that they put some hop into the bottle // smells sweet, citrus, soapy, touch hop, yeast, white bread // tastes sweet, lemon, tad fake, hay, air refresher, barn, not that much hop actually, spices and touch grass, floral // hazy body // meh at most. doesn’t taste all too good to me
