June 2015: 330 ml bottle, BB date 25.02.2015, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%. Pale golden colour, only slightly hazy. Huge and lasting white head. Aroma of Belgian ale yeast, very fruity and also mildly spicy. The flavour is also fruity and mildly spicy, not too sweet. Moderate but noticeable hops in the finish. Well balanced and enjoyable - might well buy again.

#1767 - from the same brewery as the more widely known Gouden Carolous...
Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Quite vibrant gold, just short of entering amber territory. Pours clear with a 1Cm white foamy head. From the empty bottle I see that it is filtered. ps @ +15mins, the head holds up reeeally well.
S- Very Belgian yeast notes - timber, spices, leathery + an aromatic note. Nice.
T- Dry, bright, ... notably dry, like sour apple. It also leaves an almost physical dry sensation brushed across the tongue. Ok, now I just checked the Description^ = Pale Ale, yep that makes sense. The smell came over as like a Belgian Dubbel, but the taste is pretty full-on solely on the dry side of things.
F- Dry, but with just enough going on on the taste/feel for it to stop short of seeming too austere.
O- The overy dryness does a remarkable job of masking the ABV%. This kind of beer doesn't work well for me, looks+smells good but it's like a kind of very dry mild-apple (+sour note) soda. No 'visible' ABV%, nil richness for the palate, all a bit hair-shirt for me...
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed! ==> My bottle marked as 5.8%
330ml bottle BB: 29/10/21 £2.08 Bought from BeersOfEurope/King's Lynn as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

Pours pale gold. Medium, bubbly white head that Fades fast.

Smells herbal, floral, spicy yeast and light fruit.

Taste bready, grainy, floral and late T. Followed by a light spicy yeast and earthiness. Finishes dry with a floral linger. Medium body and fizzy lower carbonation.

Delicious.

Enjoyed on tap in Le Refuge Napoléon in Vars, France. This beer has a lovely floral hop taste. It's really drinkable and quite balanced. It pours a golden colour with a good white head.

Really subtle, citrus tasting beer, not too gassy. I was pleasantly surprised by the lingering taste. Definitely buying more.
