Small bottle...nice colour, decent smell. The good stuff ends there. A sour taste and a very weak tasting beer--especially for a belgian! Don't try this.

Tried to escape the bottle from the first moment - when I finally cornered it in my glas it threw a gigantic rocky brown head over a cloudy brown liquid. Unfortunately the aroma and taste is not as exiting: Caramel and fruit notes which did not last long - slightly watery.

Bottled. Reddish amber with very rich, fine creamy head. Sweet with big toffee flavour, othre wise clean and rather light flavourwise. Lightly salty finish. Actually quite similar to oyster with it's dicrete flavour and light saltiness.

Beautiful red colour. Pinkish white head. Big cherry aroma. Nice cherry-stone bitter flavour. Very drinkable and not too sweet.

Bottle. Clear, amber colour with an off-white head. Sweet aroma of flowers, hops, liquor, sweet white wine, vanilla. Quite nice, well balanced flavour with a good complexity. Lightly bitter intiai flavour. Moderately caramelish sweet, lightly bitter finish. So all the sweetnes is in the finish. It’s a quite sweet, but very ok beer. Good balance, but not tremendously complex.

Colour of old gold, clear; very fine lacy white head, stable. Nose is slightly spicey and sweetish - some madeirisation? - though not old. Very little aroma, really. taste of orange rind, high percentage of unfermented sugar; sweet surrounded by bitterness. Very rounded, full-bodied. Alcohol prominent. In the aftertaste, the non-hop bitterness becomes obstructive. Again one of Van Steenberge's labelbeers for a community in its neighbourhood. Served in one of the village better restaurants as 'apéritif'.

Nose of grains, malt, cocos, a sweet smell that is characteristic for the brewery; later some citrusfruit notes too, and other yeasty aromas. Colour is dull (yeast somewhat in suspension) orange. Very fine, slightly irregular white head, quite stable. Sweet taste, with typical fruity, orangey-bitter surrounding. Like it or loathe it - I could do with a little less sweetness. It is not cloying. Retronasal gets notes from orange-filled chocolate. Definitely alcohol in the mouthfeel, reasonably full-bodied. The taste keeps evolving, in the aftertaste, the flavours turn to some kind of fruit-liqueur, quite pleasing. To be honest, this brewery gives me the creeps for its unending label-story. Pierlala is a labelbeer for the town of Ursel, probably Augustijn. But, as the hands are shown, there isn't much wrong with the beer itself. You could get much worse...

Ruby coloured. Impressive head, doesn't last long, though. Somewhat yeasty aroma. Somewhat fruity flavour. Alcohol is well hidden. Warming finish. Pretty much a Standard-Belgian-Strong-Ale.

Golden color. Nice malt aroma; hint of apple. Powerful, dry taste; spicy when warmer. Smoother and less dry than a Duvel, but similar, less aggressive.

Esterz maryipan and aprocot aromas. Cloudy golden, too much gunk floating around - the bottle has been upright for weeks, head rather weak too. Comparantly mild, I still get applejuice, apricot and almonds in the taste and a little bit glue. Creamy full mouthfeel.
