Also that ice-tea like sweetness like most alcohol-free beers but tastes better than the commercial ones... I could drink a few if I have to

33cl Bottle from Vonk. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of Brett, funk, light cheesy, peppery, light fruity sweetness underneath, I dare to say even light Orval-ish. Flavour is a mix of a typical sweet-ish Belgian Blond ale with funky Brett mixed in, and the result is more than decent. Light to medium bodied. Nice funky surprise.

A standard dubbel, quite good, clean, but not too strong. Mild notes of fig and maple syrup-like flavours. online belgian beer factory

A little too bitter on the palate for me for the style. But still has most of the good belgian yeast and candy qualities, online belgian beer factory

Quite mild and relatively weak flavours considering the abv. Very dry and drinkable, not much belgian yeast flavour, the dominant flavour is a dry rosé. online belgian beer factory

Bottle from a gift box. Pours clear golden with a lasting, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of mashed turnip & potatoes, cheese, sourdough, yellow apple, unripe pear, straw, hay. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of apple, pear & apricot, balancing nicely with a medium funky sourness that contains sourdough, cheese, lactic acid, hay, some citric tones; bitter accents of grass & straw in the back. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, lingering lemon, straw, brett, apple, a bit tonic-like. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation (impairing the taste a bit). Feels a bit clinical in its execution (Let's take Gentse Strop and add some brett) but the result is decent.

0.33 l bottle from 'Rudat', best before July 2020. Almost clear, golden with a large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently yeasty-spicy, floral and slightly fruity-grassy aroma of clove, banana, lemon peel and some grass. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, gently yeasty-spicy, moderately floral and a bit fruity-grassy taste of banana, clove, vanilla, some grass and a touch of lemon peel, followed by a short, gently bitter, yeasty-spicy, quite grassy finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Simple but pleasant Belgian Ale, pretty hoppy and less sweet than expected, like a restrained Duvel.
