Citrus aroma. Citric, creamy hoppy flavor, especially in the aftertaste. OK, but not world class.

Bottle: caramel, nutmeg, oak and cherry in the aroma. Oak, cookie-caramel and a very slight sourness in the flavor. Tastes OK but in no way comparable to Rodenbach Grand Cru. Lacks power, complexity, sourness and character. ( 6 3 7 3 13 = 3.2) Tap, Café Morshuis Albergen. Woody, somewhat dusty aroma with some fruit in the background. Upcoming light fruity sourness (cherries, grapes) challenged by some caramel, wood and a slight bitterness. Could use a bit more authenticity, but has a tremendous drinkability. (7 3 8 4 14 = 3.6)

Honey color, hazy. Honey aroma with citrusfruit. Creamy, hoppy citric flavor. Hints of detergent, yeast and honey. Thin to medium bodied. Not bad, could be better.

Bottle. Pinkish red color. Cherry and marzipan in the aroma. Sugary sweet (luckily not too sweet) but also cherry fruit, marzipan and even a hint of almond. Quite drinkable, decently balanced cheery beer.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel and a hint of citrus in the aroma. Sweet flavor with molasses and a hint of tobacco. The sweetness hides the alcohol, but doesn’t make it a good beer.

2009 lambic, bottled 2011. Corked bottle. Golden color. Instantly disappearing head. Citrus, honey and oak in the aroma. Sour but well rounded honeyish flavor with citrus, oak and skimmed milk. Very well balanced, great geuze.

The family of organic Biofresh beers is still growing apparently, and this is the - to my knowledge - latest descendant, a daughter named Blanche, evidently a witbier, but made with four grains (barley, wheat, oat and spelt) rather than the classic two grains. Bottle from some organic food store in Ghent. Medium thick, mousy, regular, snow white, slowly and irregularly opening head, generally stable, over an initially lightly hazed, lemon-yellow blonde beer with lime-green tinge, shifting to an equally misty yellow-blonde with sediment. Weird aroma of dry old bread crust, old and dirty polyester doormats, rubber tyres even, green apple, dusty old coriander seed, dried out lemon peel, hints of pumice, unripe pear, damp straw, fennel, freshly cut garden weeds. Fruity onset, unripe banana, green apple, some peach and pear, lively fizz with emphatic minerally effects, slick and lightly soapy body; clear wheaty soapiness and sourishness mingles with a bready barley note as well as 'dull' spelt and oat 'spiciness' and graininess, but the velvety effect I expect when I see oats in the ingredients list does not really come through. Dusty coriander seed and old dried lime peel effects try to brighten up the finish, the latter even adding some vague sourish refreshment, while the sweet graininess and bready-yeasty effects linger, a tad starch-like, along with a floral, light hop bitter touch. Sharp carbonation (even for this usually highly carbonated style) remains active till the end. Your typical old school witbier, albeit less soapy, more spicy and more lean than is classically the case; drinkable and quenching, but this weird polyester and old rubber effect in the nose, no doubt a flaw in fermentation somewhere, is hardly inviting to take a next sip...
