The aroma is slightly yeasty. The color is hazy orange and it has a fine beige head though disappearing. The flavor is of cloves, oranges, citrus, and yeast with the alcohol prickling the tongue. An average triple.

An orange beer with a white head and particles floating around in it - probably yeast sediment.The aroma is sweet yeasty and malty with notes of fruit. The flavor though is sour and fruity to start off but then turning dry in the end. A good beer.

(Sample from 1995) Thick snow-white head, dense but irregular; pale orange amber, slight haze. Leafy nose, bit of maltsugars. Oxydised, walnuts taste. Slight, but quite nice little metallic tang at the finish - not harsh. Medium-bodied, slightly slick mouthfeel. Oxidation gets more outspoken warming up. A nice beer, with a very old recipe. Another victim of the breezer generation that allows HACCP rules to terrorise Zottegem and other rural places of wisdom.

I drank an old version of 2000. But this one was definitely too old in my opinion. Clear yellow color, medium frothy head. Aroma is very acidic and vinegar, vinous. I guess it was a bad bottle, or just probably not age-able.

Slightly cloudy orange color, medium frothy head. Sweet and sour aroma, some orange and citrus, bit hoppy. Taste is also sweet and sour, bit malty. Sirupy body, not alcoholic indeed. Decent brew.

Slightly hazy golden color, medium lasting head. Quite weak aroma of spices, citrus and hops. Also not very strong taste, again spicy and hoppy. Not really impressive, i would say a quite weak triple.

Gushing, after 12 years! Head is however immediately gone. Completely clear, red-gold, few big bubbles. Overpowering aroma of fruit, old vintage sherry, fruit essence, cherries, wild strawberries. Distinct fruit taste, but not as in fresh fruit. Rather as a precious liqueur made with selected ripe fruits. The essence of cherries - on sherry. Neither sweet, neither sour. Retronasal taste of venerable aged wine and, strange, lytchee. Mouthfeel neither thin, neither full - aetheral. Aftertaste is liqueurish, fruity. Perfection is not of this world. But this comes bl*** near. Will they finally start brewing the finest of non-lambic fruitbeers again, D*MN them! Still available at some specialised Belgian beerbars.

A rare, but tasty example. I don't have my notes in front of me but this had a lot of lambic character.
