[i] [b] Bottle from Glen Imdownthepub, cheers for this one Glen, had this 29-03-08 [/i] [/b] Bottle dated BBE 06-09-03 so quite well aged. Pours amber in colour with some haze, some spice on the nose and yeast. The alcohol pushes through and whilst this feels quite soft in the mouth it also has a lot going on, some nice spiciness but also a dash of tropical fruits sits on a solid malty base, aroma has softened with age, and this beer goes down surprisingly weel with my fiery lamb curry, once again cheers Glen.

The fact that I’ve had to add this and the Wit was a surprise... 0.33l bottle at the Hopdevil in Zagreb. So, I’ve had the Blond before this one, which was dull and I was actually looking forward to this one, I mean, there’s bound to be some taste in the Wit. At least from coriander. The pour was promising. Unfiltered, a nice murky yellow colour with a small head that went away fast. More or less, true to style. And then I went to smell it and I discovered to my dismay that it was all too true to the range. Nothing. Even worse than the Blond. I’ve strained and strained and the only thing I’ve found was some extremely weak spice. Though that might be my sense of smell rebelling and inventing something just to stop me from repeating the process again. The taste. Now, you have the rest of the range, which are imo basically fine, but all too watered down examples of their respective styles and then you have the average crappy light beer and you have this. Heck, I’ve had bottled water with more character than this. At first I’ve managed to find, to my surprise, water. And then, some more water. WATERHEADS REJOICE! And then... some weak weak acidity (and the audience went "Awww..."). Maybe some fruitiness. And maybe I’m imagining things... no... when it got a bit warmer, there was something, but let’s just call that "faint sweetness" shall we. Ok, I guess one could claim that that weak acidity belongs to some faint agrumey taste, but that’d just be an insult to those that really do possess a "faint agrumey taste". Faint & background take a whole new meaning with this bad boy. Ok. I’m being a bit negative. Let’s find something positive. Umm.... the mouthfeel isn’t unpleasant? Yes! Correct! Ok... I’ll cut it out. All in all, the dullest beer I’ve had in a while and the dullest beer I’ve had coming from Belgium. Really hoping I’ve had a "bad bottle" or something. The Blond got a "why?". This gets a "WHY?!?"

The fact that I’ve had to add this and the Wit came as a surprise... 0.33l bottle at the Hopdevil in Zagreb. Poured a half finger white foam that went away fast, golden colour, maybe a bit tinged with orange. Nose.. erm... there... is no aroma? No, wait, there is something... some weak maltiness. The taste manages to be even weaker at first. Weak weak spicy notes, maybe a touch of caramel. Some metal rears its ugly head. The taste is sweetish, faint, faint (but nice) maltiness. There is something there but it’s painfully weak. It pushes some buttons right but too little, maybe too late. This fits neatly into the utter blandness of the Steenbrugge range and I kinda feel like I’m overrating it. All in all... why?

(33cl bottle) Hazy, reddish amber colour with a massive beige foamy head, leaving lace-work on the glass. Moderately sweet and yeasty, slightly toasted malt aroma with a restrained fruit character (plums, raisins), spicy phenols and herbal, peppery hops. Medium-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a slightly fizzy palate. Toasty malty taste with traces of caramel, plums and spices; short and slightly fizzy finish. Unimpressive Dubble (29.01.08).

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing off-white head. Yeasty, fruity and mild butterish aroma. Classic fruity belgian yeast and dark caramel malt dominated flavour. Medium sweet with a solid spice note and a strong maltbase. Nicely balance of these notes into the finish. Quite malty tripel.
