[Draft at ZBF 2004]An amber beer with a small off-white head that quickly disappears. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of yeast. The flavor is of caramel, yeast, malt, and roasted bread on a sweet background. An OK beer without being special.

[Draft at ZBF] A clear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is very light malty. The flavor is malty, sweet, yeasty with a dry hoppy end. Very pilsner like, very average and with a thin body. A boring beer.

(Draught) Light amber, white head, fast dwindling but lacey. Peanuts and roasted malts in the nose. Again roasted malts in the taste, some marzipan-sweet crystal, and some oxidation. Light to meium bodied. Thank God this beer misses the metallic Leroy "finishing touch". Reverse of the coin - ain't anything else. Drops dead.

(Draught)Clear gold, dense, broken-white head. Crisp, slightly corn-sweet smell, touch of coloured malt. Nice bitter onslaught in the taste, but quickly gone - then the malt fills in without becoming sweet. I get some roasted notes. Medium-bodied. It's the finish of the palate where it derails. Sharp metallic-bitter aftertaste, like burnt unripe peanuts - typically Leroy. Even adstringent. Damn this finish. I ruins a potentially good beer.

Nice fruity nose with honey, grapes, a touch of pineapple and abundant esters mingling with wet hay. The body is cloudy yellow-orange with a dense, puffy light tan head. Flavor is of dry bread, cereal and flowers with a nice sweet touch, but I concur with PsychProf on the copper aftertaste; my mouth feels like I've been sucking on a penny. Otherwise this is highly drinkable and a fairly unique interpretation.

Cloudy orange with a lasting bubbly white head. Crisp, fruity aroma, some apple, some lemon. Initial round malt/hops flavour followed by a long and bitter hops aftertaste. (re-rate needed to fit with the numbers I use today)

Bottle - Poured a deep murky amber brew with a nice huge foamy white head that's long lasting. ABV is bit too omnipresent but excellent carbonation. Taste is sweet with some quite complex mix of spice. I notice that some of the other review mentioned a metallic taste, which I have heard of before. If I recall well, the metallic taste is from the hops and usually goes away after the bottle is aged a bit.

(Brewed under the name and the recipe(???) of the former Bevernagie brewery at Lichtervelde) Dull straw-gold; slim white rim for head. Just grainy nose, not much else, but a few fruity esters. Very dull-sweet taste, quite grainy again - but with a very authentic-tasting lactic retronasal aroma. Medium bodied, some tartness in the finish. The taste is surprisingly authentic. I wouldn't have expected it from the Leroy-Van Eecke duo.

Light orange brew with a huge white head. Good carbonation with complex spicy aroma. Taste of hops is really present with good body. Taste of complex spice is really enjoyable. Overall, a really fine strong belgian brew.
