Bottle Murky, artificial pink (like grapefruit) body. Fizzy pinkish head. Sweet aroma (raspberry). Too sweet for me. Just another sweet, commercial beer.

Crystal clear amber coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of light malt, cardboard, old low a.a. hops and a small amount of toffee. Medium-bodied; Astringent malt taste with minimal spices & sugars. Aftertaste shows a light finish with hardly any alcohol, malt or sugars showing through. Overall, nice to try, but not a great seasonal when you compare it with others. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 24-December-2004.

As my experience with Belgian beers has grown, the esteem with which I hold Petrus has fallen. Decent brews to be sure, but there are so many of each of their styles that I like better. I had not had this beer in quite some time and had forgotten it altogether. Sampled from a 11.2 oz bottle this brew poured a light chestnut color with a large tan head. There was a light sweet fruity aroma. The flavor was sweet and lightly malty but overall surprisingly bland. Mild in character but pleasant at the same time. I drank it with some pleasure but it was far from the best beer I had that night.

Bottled. Clear golden. Sweet with traces of lemon. Sugary, peppery , lightly resiny and vinous. Surprisingly discrete, or perhaps lacking in flavour.

Clear yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of hops, flower, some yeast and spice, typically for a belgian blonde beer. Taste is moderately sweet, bit bitter. Bit dry palate, some sweetness.

Very hazy blonde with a thick creamy head, which collapses quickly. Pleasant lemon and yeast aroma. Lemony and spicey (fresh ginger) in tatste, dry but not tart. Some bubble gum in the end. Not original, or interesting, but hits the spot.

Hazy blonde pilsner which spews skunk once open. Very little foamy white head. Rather sweet perfumy taste with boiled corn. Blah!

Medium-huge pinkish white head, rapidly dwindled to a rim; hazy cyclamen beer. Nose is very sweet, artificial, very perfumed - could be either raspberry, cherry, both - or mulberry AFAIC. With all the head gone, it’s more outspoken raspberry, but still very sweet. (Somewhat diluted) raspberry jam on toast - taste. (Toasted) bread is obvious - maybe the wheat? Too sweet to be refreshing IMO, Jos. Light bodied, carbonation is very conspicuous. Bweugh. Superfluous.
