Due to the fact that I was unable to use Ratebeer for several months and because of technical reasons, no detailed evaluation is possible.

Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. I brought along the 75cl cork and caged bottle of this; BB 3rd February 2025, obtained from a large French supermarket last year. Clean golden pour, white top. Nice yeasty, Belgian style strong beer, on the sweet side, but I like that.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 24. Thanks Jeremy for this! Pours a clear gold until the yeast at the end forms a fine mist, good white head. Noticeably sweet sugary aroma. Pokey sweet flavour profile, more alcohol than fruity Belgian yeast, with a hoppy tingle linger on the tongue. Too sweet overall.
