Bottle shared. Bit hazy orange to red with small head. Light funk, crisp sour beer with a bit of funk and lemon, tons of fresh fruity grapes with a bit of strawberry and red currants. Medium sour, less bitter and even lighter sweet. Over light bodied. Quite nice, very drinkeable and fresh.

750ml bottle from House of Trembling Madness. It pours clear amber blonde with a handsome fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly baked goods, farmhouse style bread, biscuit, cereal, touch of nuttiness, candied lemon, lemon curd, pomelo, citron, toasty grains, grass and florals. The taste is super crisp, dry, snappy, pleasing grassy bitterness which lingers, woody, slightly herbal, waxy lemon peel, pithy, zesty, lemon curd, pomelo, fragrant, floral, nutty, cereal, hearty bread character and a touch of pepper with a drying, finish with lemon verbena. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. The full package. Hearty, yet moreish. Flavourful and has a good depth for the style.

Aromas are malt, toast, hops, and the Belgian candy sugar effect. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with a lingering sweetness from the candy sugar. Excellent carbonation and good body. Standard good Belgian beer but nothing too unusual. Very drinkable.
gave a cheers!

Aromas are caramel malt, brett, oak, herbs and spices with some fruit. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, moderately tart up front with a little sweet in back. Decent body and carbonation. Good but nothing too special.
gave a cheers!

0.33l bottle at Ambasada. Very dark brown-black body, lasting off-white head. Floral, herbal, bit soapy dry aroma, with the malty notes being primarily cocoa-like. Lean, dry taste, soft maltiness, the dark malts not being too complex, some floral-soapy hoppy touches, light phenolic notes. Not in the best of shapes perhaps.

Bottle at home in Alkmaar. Pours opaque golden with a thick white head. Aroma is sugars, peppery notes, some grass as well. Taste is light honey, candi, grassy notes, light phenols. Closes with a long lasting, dry and moderately bitter finish, grassy notes. Light bodied eith average carbonation. Maybe I should be turning to these dry, phenolic belgian pales more frequently?

Bottle at home from Slijterij De Laat. Pours a deeper golden with a thick white head. Nose is grass, phenols, light grainy notes, in no particular order. Taste is malty notes (light honey and bread), then a lightly fruity, grassy, herbal turn. Closes with a moderately bitter, dry, grassy finish. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation.
