For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

3.5/10
Can @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Almost clear, blood red body under a fine white head with a slightly pink shade. Strong aroma of cherry juice and almond, not room for much more. Taste is very sweet cherry syrup, fruit candy and just a faint hint of some acidity which would be sorely needed to handle the sweetness. Not much sign of the beer here and neither my kind of drink.

Bottle as Tripel @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear golden under a huge, foamy white head. Aroma is classic Belgium tripel with yeast, spices and phenol, but a bit less distinct than average tripel IMO. Taste is sweet grain, Belgium yeast, some banana and cloves, sharp but not very bitter hops and slightly dry aftertaste. Quite nice, just not among the best triple from Belgium, perhaps a bit in the direction of a traditional blonde.

5.5/10
Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear orange/red/ body under a foamy pink head. Aroma has cherry, fruit candy and some marzipan. Taste is sweet with some balancing acidity, but still a bit too sweet IMO. The cherry and marzipan from the aroma also remain in the taste but the candy part tastes more in the direction of cherry syrup. Balanced body with the same fruity and slightly artificial aftertaste. It’s a drinkable beer, but I find it too sweet and artificial to make a repeat purchase of this.

5.5/10
Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Slightly unclear pale golden body under a nice, white head. Aroma is grain with a light touch of spicy yeast. Taste is rather clean pale malt and grain. Light bodied with short aftertaste. A decent, refreshing, almost generic NA beer. It’s labelled as a blond, but I miss the more distinct Belgium yeast impact with a spicy touch as which usually belongs to that style. Nothing wrong but nothing outstanding either.

Backlog November 2012. Unclear brown/amber body under a moderate sized tan head. Aroma of caramel malt and light fruity. Taste is malty with generic fruit and berries, some nuts and a slightly harsh bitterness. The fruity part make this brown ale a bit extraordinary, otherwise is mostly straight forward.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Arom has pale malt and quite much in the spicy/herbal direction, very delicate. Sweet and refreshing the way only Belgium beers seem to handle, mild pale malt, spicy/herbal and some bitterness. Actually, a tad more bitter than usually for a Belgium blond – otherwise this is ultra typical, traditional Belgium blond and it’s best. Love it or leave it!

Bottle @ home. Clear golden body under a small white head. Arom of apple with a hint of yeast and wood. Taste is quite clean apple, medium sweet, hint of wood. Quite straight forward but nice and refreshing.
