Country of Origin: Belgium
Price comparison: About twice as much as the average domestic national brand.
Alcohol percentage by volume: 9 %
Cute bottle/label? Squat brown 330 ml bottle with some Mondrian-ish block drawings of steeples and a stork with a fish in its beak.
Appearance: Golden yellow with a huge snowy head that left foam all the way down the glass.
Scent: Very fruitlike; neither hops nor malt detectable in the nose whatsoever. The fruitiness is like a canned fruit cocktail with no one aroma prevalent.
Flavor: Very alcoholic in flavor, but with a spicy bite at the finish. Neither hoppy nor malty enough to satisfy the beer lover in me.
Impressions: It was okay, but I didn't think this was nearly as special as it ought to have been for a Belgian. I guess I'm a bit spoiled.
Will I buy this beer again? Probably not; there are better beers available at lower prices.
