Huge, dense, stable just yellowish head over fully hazy yellow beer with a green sheen. End of bottle solid yeast. "Beery" nose, lots of (pale) malts, some spicy hops. Garden weeds & herbs, bit raw. Bitterish, spicy, herbal on an all the same sweetish malty underbuild. Bit almondy; hints at kitchen herbs and pipe tobacco. Quite slick, light body, good carbonation. Bit easy, nothing really new nor exceptional.
Thanks, Anke, for the bottle! Clear golden, stable, frothy, white head. Aroma of apple peel, unripe pear, yeast, soap, wheat, bread crust, honey. Taste has sweetish pear, apple & green banana; bread-malty & very yeasty body, plenty of phenolic spiciness. Grassy hoppy finish, dry yeast & unripe fruits. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Refreshing but not amazing.
5.8%. Dark golden colour with large bubbly head. Nice malty flavour with a fruity note of dark berries. Yeasty. Nice.
Hazy blond body. White head. Aroma of hops, fairly plain. Moderately bitter flavour. Well balanced.
Bottle from Geers. Cloudy blond colour, white foam. Lots and lots of carbonation, it overpowers everything. After pouring it in and out the glass for several times, it was much better. Notes of hay, pepper and sweet herbal notes. All in all a very enjoyable beer, but it's a pity its overcarbonated.
30/III/20 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: big ink blob (2020-288)
Clear gold blond beer, big creamy white head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, cow fodder, some ripe banana, bit spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice bitter start, fruity, some banana, spicy, bit peppery, hint of citrus. Aftertaste: yeasty, some banana, bit sweet, chemical, medicinal bitterness, dry finish. Just a little off, but otherwise a nice saison!
33cl bottle from Beer Mania beer store in Brussels. F: big, white, creamy, long lasting. C: milky hazy, gold. A: sweet malty, caramel, floral, honey, herbal, bit spicy. T: medium malty base, herbal, bit mineral, honey touch, dry on the palate, spicy, yeasty, medium carbonation, not bad, enjoyed.
Bottle. I've had a lot of gushers on previous Hof ten Dormaal beers, so was prepared for another one, but no gusher at all this time. Color: Hazy, rather pale golden, white head with light brown yeast from the bottom of the bottle. Aroma: Dry, yeast, peppery. Taste: Yeasty, herbal and banana notes. Dry. Grain and wheat malt. Hints of white sugar. Moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Bittery palate at finish. Medium body, below average carbonation. Pretty smooth mouthfeel. Overall ok but on the sweet side, bit sticky and not very complex and exciting.
