Blond color; big head; nice perlage. The aroma is a bit flowery; light old hops. Medium dry; some maltiness; simple but pleasant to drink.

A hazy amber beer with a nice light brown head. The aroma is very yeasty and very spicy with hints of alcohol, peaches, and cinnamon. The flavor is very sweet - almost too sweet with notes of peach, cloves, as well as yeast on a background with hints of alcohol. The end is quite dry with the sweetness lingering together with warmth from the alcohol.

Well now here’s a funny beer. Labelled as a "gold" Belgian ale, and with a devilish name, I expected a strong phenolic Belgian golden ale ala Duvel. What a surprise then to get something that in a blind tasting I would readily peg as a pilsner. And as such its a decent one. Pours a bright clear gold with full foamy head, aroma is only slightly skunky (brown glass, best by date of 10/2005), otherwise grassy with some sweetish butter malts. Palate is initially moderately sweet and rounded, with a moderate hop finish, all like a south German pils. Very clean, no fermentation esters at all.

Slight gushing to irregular, good head, fast collapsing; orange-amber beer with pinkish shine. Faint vanilla, bit of rosewater, roasted and a bit of alcohol form the nose. Sharp scorched taste, flavour as from human sweat. Again, alcoholic. Sharpness completely overwhlems all mouthfeel there is. I still seem to detect rather thinnish body. This is never going to be highly noted in my book. Sharp, alcoholic and poor emptiness - can do much better.

Orange-golden; collapsing, dense, very white head, leaving lace. Very alcoholic nose - even jenever-like - rather surprising at 6%ABV; cookies and roasted flakes. Scorched sugar/caramel taste, on the verge of bitterness. Rapidly diminishes to a more conventional sweet malt taste. Mouthfeel is amongst its best traits; fresh sparkling water-texture gives a good fight to the scorched caramel. Kastaar is a recreation of a beer, softly killed-off in the eighties-nineties. Now it’s around again, and the brewery seems hesitating between the traditional homely "Kastaar" and the very ’trendy’ name "K-star". I would be the happiest of people if they did the same for the much regretted Special 6-gueuze. Kastaar is OK, but not really in the star-category.

Lightly hoppy, moderately yeasty aroma. Frothy, off-white head, virtually not lacing and mostly diminishing. Hazy, orange body. Lightly acidic, moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter (long) finish. Medium to fully bodied. Lively carbonation. Nothing special, just an ordinary abbey ale

Pours a cloudy yellow with a big head. Aroma of a doughy vanilla hit me. Flavor is a citrus hoppiness. not bad at all. Probably not the best Belgian but worth a try.
