Hazy pink colour, white head. Aroma has raspberry and sweet candy. Flavour has raspberry with something sour. Can be refreshing, but boring.

Petrus Blond is slightly red-yellow with medium white head. Aroma is very sweet and there are flowers and also some berries in the background. Flavour is also sweet but it changes much dryer in the end. Carbonation is quite high but still this it nice to drink. Balanced and nice beer and not so over-sweet and juicy-like than Dubbel Bruin from the same brewery.

Wittekerke is light yellow beer with medium head. Aroma is wheatish, metallic and surprisingly there are lager-type aromas. In the flavour there are wheat and some spicys. Easy to drink but still body is strong enough. Whitebeer with lager-like features is not convince and still there are nothing special. Slightly disapointment.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy red/brown with a light pink/white head, dense. Solid raspberry aroma. Sweet raspberry, much like soda/juice. Fruity and sweet finish. Nice but more a sodapop than anything else.
