Bottle to Westvletren 12 (small) chalice

Thanks rvdoorn for bring this to our wonderful tasting in Utrecht (December 2011).

A: Bright yellow. 1+ (frothy white) fingernail head on gentle pour.

S: Crisp and refreshing - wheat, sweet maltiness, and cloves with citrus, unrippened white grapes, and coriander.

T: Loads of wheat, coriander, and lemon zest here. Good balance of flavors and it drinks incredibly "soft" (i.e. very easy and smooth to drink).

M: Light body with medium carbonation.

O: Clean, crisp, nice, and just refreshing! A solid pale ale brewed with a splash of Belgian flare. Quite tasty indeed.

I was able to try this beer at a tasting organized by Jeffo and Doopiedoopiedoo. Read some more about the tasting on my review of The Brewery - Black Tuesday.

A - A yellow haze with on top a thin white lacing - there is a lot of yeast in my glass though.

S - Citrus, coriander and some pine - fresh smelling.

T - A nice crisp and fresh beer.

M - The body is relatively full.

O - A good fresh tasting blond.

This beer is brewed especially for the vlaamse reus pub in Wageningen. Brewed for the first time to celebrate the 20th anniversary.
Look: golden bronze color with a nice frothy head.
Smell: Very fruity, grain with citrus and white grapes.
Taste: Sweet white grapes, citrus fruits, pear cane sugar and malts.
Mouthfeel: medium-low carbonation, watery mouthfeel.
Overall: Nice and refreshing for a warm summer day
