Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Hazy yellow with large (2-3mm) yeasty bits with fine foamy long alsting white head. Some gueuze like tarty (raw pineapple) sour, sweet apple and fruity hops aroma. Medium-thin spritzigy like body. Cider and yeasty flavoured start. Hoppy bitter middle and medium sweet bitter refreshing finish. Hides alcohol well - different and quite interesting -
Light and fruity - just like my exgirlfriend - for a 8.5%. This ale has less bitterness than the Piraat. Sip slowly and enjoy this ale in your lazyboy on the porch.
A fairly generic Belgian ale with a sour citrus quality. Not really to my taste, and overly carbonated.
