RateBeer user from Oct. 2013 until Jan. 2025 (my first 4000 ratings are from there). Quality over quantity, I'm not the biggest ticker. And I prefer balance and drinkability to bells and whistles. FAVOURITE STYLES: traditional Lambic / Belgian pale ales (see Orval or De la Senne) / Franconian lagers / I have a soft spot for anything with blueberries. :-) FAVOURITE BREWERIES: Cantillon, De la Senne, Aecht Schlenkerla. FAVOURITE AUSTRIAN BREWERIES: Augustiner Kloster Mülln, Bierol, Bierschmiede.

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
440 ml can, bb 30.04.27. Dark golden body, with a big, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of melon, passion fruit, resin, pine, lemon zest, biscuit, some bubblegum. Tastes similar.
Full mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes bitter, zesty, resinous, piney, alcoholic, with moderate sweet fruits, biscuit.

Quite heavy for the ABV, with the alcohol noticeable, feels more like 10% ABV. Still really interesting, with sweet fruit notes, a good bitter, resinous hop bite and a smooth, biscuity malt body.

330 ml bottle from the brewery, bb 30.11.2026.
Dark copper-brown body, with a big, dense, beige head.
