Bottle Pours a hazy redish tan with a huge light brown head. An awful lot of chunkys suspended in mine. I even poured carefully leaving an ounce in the bottle. Plum raison and lime in the aroma. Pineapple too. Flavor is not so much the fruity notes and more of the belgian musty notes. The ABV comes through but not much for %10. I can feel the yeast bits and it puts me off a bit. remember that psudo-soft drink from the mid ’90s called "Orbitz"? A nice BSA though.

Bottled. Reddish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is just lovely, richly fruity and pleasant hopping and yeasting. Flavour is sweet toffeeish with some bitterish flowery hops and spices. Pleasant aftertaste of plum, spices and flowery stuff. Extremely complex, and yes, it’s a christmassy beer indeed!!

Happy to finally try this, and am in no way disappointed! Rich fruity aroma, with dates and bananas as the primary focus. Smooth, almost light palate. Soft and pillowy. Notes of caramel and apricot. Finish is semi-dry, with chocolate covered raisins, fruitcake and candied walnuts. Primary defect is a slight carbonic bite, otherwise a world classic. Very cloudy with sediment, browning an otherwise orange amber color, with a good foaming head and heavy lacing.

Darker amber ale with floaties, and thick froathy off-white head. In aroma, cinnamon, cloves and orange peels. Wonderful. In mouth, nice mix of the spices, ginger most noted, smooth and pleasant. Rich bodied with wonderful spice balance. Bought from Bieropholie. November 2005. Mike’s place.

Golden ale with a thick white head. Pleasant aroma of wheat and apples, with butterscotch notes. Lightly sweet with strong coriander notes and sharp metallic hops with an iron-like finish. Rather rich and strong for a Blanche! Bought at Delhaize, Brussels. Tasted May 2005.

That this is not the typical witbier was apparent on the first pour- the light orange body is hardly "white," and the tart aroma, with its apple cider, pears, spice, and plastics is also atypical. Yeasty body with the same plastics (not pleasant, but probably natural) in addition to sweet apple juice, pear, and musty hay. This bottle is certainly old (it features an older label and is corked), but it is lively and effervescent. With each sip, the impression of an alcoholic cider becomes stronger and stronger, and the plastics become subdued. The best thing about this beer is its initial perfumey, fruity aroma, which makes this brewery’s yeast among the most interesting on the planet. I’m not as enthusiastic about the flavor, but it’s decent if not great. Worth a look.

Bottled. Copper coloured, foamy beige huge head. Fruity aroma with hints of hops. Flavour is sweet alcohol, plum and spices. Finish is spicy and alcoholic. Extremely sweet beer. Aftertaste is hayish hoppy and at the same time it contains caramellish sweetness.

Bottled. Dark amber colour, huge foamy head. Aroma is complex, plum, alcohol and lots more. The flavour was not too good compared with aroma, very sweet and smoked hay. The flavour didn’t impress me, though it got a quite good rating it’s mainly because the aroma was lovely!
