Bottle Kerstbierfestival 2007: Copper with a off white head. The aroma is a cereal grain with spice. The taste is sweet with more of that cerealness and some alcohol. The age of this beer did not do it well!

Bottle from the early ’90s, offered me years ago by Joris Pattyn
Bright ruby color, with a thin white collar. Wonderful sour aroma, pungent, a bit fruity and with cellar hints; later it’s also woody, with a light touch of milk chocolate. Good body structure, aggressive sourness, a lot of lemon juice; the sourness turns into bitterness; harsh; when warmer the mouthfeel is smoother and there is also a touch of hazelnuts. The palate is nice and astringent to start, but quite short. Very good. Lambic?

Bottle Clear, lightly amber body with a white head. Interesting aroma of white grapes, caramel, wine (very lambic like). Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour: not very intense but still quite interesting.

75cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear amber with lasting beige head. Cereal aroma, a rather lovely Belgian ale with good malt/yeast/hop balance. Plenty of grain and a dry dessicating finish. Rather good, especially the mouthfeel and the hoppy dry finish.
