Óriási habgörgeteg. Édes, borókás ízvilág. Mint valami Belga karácsonyi szörnyeteg.

Bottle (not sure where from), consumed at home Tuesday 22nd January 2019 whilst cooking Ham, Pea and crispy Onion soup with Feta. Pours gold, good clarity with a white head. This is a rather decent straightforward Belgian beer, nothing complicated or out of the ordinary but there is a nice bitter edge, its got a pleasant sweetness but certainly not too sweet. Like it.

Triste Noël avec cette Bellerose, très médiocre, qui est plutôt à réserver aux zythologues qui n’ont pas été sages durant l’année. Le plus affligeant est surtout du côté des arômes…aucune complexité et linéaire…c’est plat et sans grand intérêt avec caramel, orange, girofle et petite pointe de poivre. N’attendez pas non plus que celle-ci vous réchauffe, l’alcool à 7 % n’y arrive en aucun cas. Bref, on n’est pas à la fête avec cette Bellerose, que ce soit à Noël, à Pacques ou autre…En verre, l’ambré foncé est limpide et surmonté d’une mousse beige de 3 mm. Le nez est plat : caramel, orange girofle sans âme. Le brasseur a tenté avec ce duo orange/girofle donné une âme de Noël à sa bière…mais pour cela une base plus riche et un alcool plus élevé aurait été nécessaire. Dès l’attaque, les arômes dévoilés au nez sont présents sans surprise, sans relief. Le reste en sera de même, à part une amertume légèrement plus intense en seconde bouche. La texture est de plus trop fine pour le genre, l’ampleur trop limitée mais heureusement avec une longueur appréciable. Celle-ci ne sauve en rien cette Bellerose qui ne vous fera pas trouver l’esprit de Noël.
