Bottle, 7.5%. Bready, grassy hop aroma. Clear golden colour. Stable white head. Tastes a bit old, even though it is 2 years until BB date. But quite drinkable. Not that hoppy. Good hop flavour, but not too aromatic or bitter. 6 3 6 3 16
Bottle, 7.5%. Malty aroma, fresh grain, slightly soapy. Cloudy golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is quite malty with a sweetish hop note. Mild bready yeast note, Belgian-tasting, but not very much so. 6 3 6 3 16

Fully hazy yellow beer with orange shine; small but persistent, just off-white head. Flowery, lime blossom and lunaria nose, with yeasty esters, fruity and a whiff of sugar syrup. Well-balanced, sweet/dry-bitterish, but the sugars win out eventually. Mind you, I’ve had this fresher. Again lunaria and I seem to get some coriander too, ending in a spicey finish. Medium bodied. No new aftertaste, but longlastign finish. I’ve had this before, at the Blauwershof, and it was in better shape then. There’s definitely more in this.

Pale greenish gold with a dense, just off-white head. Meat and garlic - what ester produces THIS? Furthermore a bit of dusty, pale malts. More dusty malts in the taste, and human sweat (yes, I know...), cheesy hops. Light MF, empty finish. Ouch. Really unpleasant off-flavours present.

Big, fluffy, creamy white head; hazy yellow body. Spicy, wheaty aroma with coriander notes. Taste is watery, spicy citrus with faint coriander notes. Aftertaste is spicy grapefruit. It’s very light and drinkable, but still interesting. (0.25l on tap.)

Bottle, best before April 2008 Deep, brown body. Frothy off-white head, which diminishes totally. Fresh aroma of hops, caramel, ... Not very intense. Very sweet flavour, tastes like cola syrupe. Bah!
