Bottle @ home. Unclear deep golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is malt, grain, bread, spicy and Belgium yeast. Taste has this typical Belgium sweetness with malt, some kind of generic ripe fruitiness, spicy yeast, mild caramel, sugar, low bitterness and some warming alcohol. Balanced body and average aftertaste. A decent version of a Belgium blonde/golden ale without anything extraordinary, but as often with this kind of beers they grow on me while drinking one bottle by myself a quite evening without any kind of rating stress or rating session.

Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Black body with a slight reddish tint under a big, creamy beige head. Strong and pleasant aroma of dark malt, licorices, mocha and roasted coffee. Taste is in the same direction with dark, roasted malt, a faint hint of smoke, fark chocolate, licorices and nice hoppy bitterness. Fine balanced body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. A really nice one.

Can @home. Unclear, very pale yellow body under a white head. Mild, refreshing fruity aroma with tropical fruits, grapes and grass. Taste is pretty mild as well, not much malt, tropical fruits and grapes, low bitterness. Light bodied with short aftertaste. Not much going on here, but shure nice as an easy thirst quencher.

Backlog 2006. Slightly unclear copper golden body under a white head. Quite standard pilser aroma and taste, was expecting some more malt flavor based on colour. But slighly more fruity hop flavor. Decent.

Backlog 2006. Slightly unclear golden body under a white head. Aroma and taste is pretty much like any ordinary macro lager, decent but not very interesting. Not much more to say.
