I had a bottle at L'Express on 20th (I think) Street in NYC. I pours a deep red with a good three-finger head and solid lace. Has a slight spicy scent to it...licoricey?

I think there is definitely a dry licorice taste to it and is quite carbonated. The taste is mild, dry, but the carbonation makes it quite refreshing. Very good afternoon beer.

I had a draft of 25 cl in a glass while in Antwerp -- at Bier Central near my hotel. There was a lot going on in this brew, including, Belgian spiciness with some hop. It's the local and I would not market it as APA. It tasted very fresh, which was probably worth a quarter point.

250ml on keg at t Brugs Beertje, Bruges, Belgium (€3.50):
This one was an excellent beer from De Koninck, very smooth & balance whilst seeming quite refreshing too. It was an easy beer to drink with a nice caramel sweetness from the start & some good nutty flavours, although these seem a little strong on the nose than with the taste. There was a good mix of earthy malts whilst keeping the beer relatively light tasting but it's definitely one that I'd have again.

A kind of dull Belgian pale ale.
