Hazy golden beer with slight orange highlights; huge, just off-whtie head. Spicey nose, mustard seed powder, white candi sugar, coriander. Bit caramelly, sweetish taste. Some sulphury component, coleslaw. Medium bodied, alcohol perceptible. Dull version of Dikke Mathile - or Zottegemse Grand Cru?

Golden color; nice perlage; huge head. Classic aroma, with some coriander and orange peel. Good taste, typical as well; dry malt, coriander and with a touch of cookies to add some originality. Correct final.

Short lived brown-yellow head over deep-brown beer. Leather, brown candi sugar, liquorice, moss - and some lactic acid. That might sound good, but it isn’t much good. Somehow, it smells forced. Sweet taste with a slight sourish tinge. Actually way better than the nose, but too sweet by some lenghts. Slightly woody, brown candi sugar. Empty, watery texture but with a slickness I link to artificial sweetener. Its taste is not bad, and I conced this would make the perfect stepping stone to real (good) beer for smaller children.

Very carbonated at first, colour of old gold, under medium but dense yellow head. Buttery, possibly DMS, oh, and what you call skunked. I fear this bottle has been under the limelights of the shop. Strange grainy, short acidity as from a dash of lemon, and then again skunky, with a slight bitterish, faintly metallic finish. Flavour of old, watered-down cider. Very carbonated, fizzy. Ruined beer, I’m afraid.

Bottle, Paters Vaeje, Antwerp, Belgium, 05-10-06. Quite a hazy, pale yellow coloured beer with good white head. Wheat and yeast come across in the aroma, wheatiness also presents itself in the flavour stakes along with crisp refreshing lemony taste, nothing out of the ordinary but absolutely fine beer, probably would have appreciated it more sat outside on a nice pleasant summers evening.

Bottle, Paters Vaeje, Antwerp, Belgium, 04-10-06. Amber coloured beer, with a slight hoppy and citric aroma, pleasantly bitter beer with some citrus flavours, but to be honest I was a little bit underwhelmed by this beer.

Very pale gold, heavily carbonated to slowly collapsing, dense white head. Grain and a bit of seawater. Weird nose. Dry (pale) malty taste, with a slight sourish edge; no doubt this is just the CO² coming through. Slightly fizzy, quite slick all the same for a pils. Aftertaste is slightly sweetish, even a bit maize-like. Not a bad pils. The brewery is very sympatico, maybe it reflects on the beer somehow?

Bottled. Pitch black opaque colour with big beigeish brown head. Cooked vegetables in aroma along with some pepper and metallic notes. Flavour is strong caramel and candy along with some roasted hints. Not that exciting...
