0.33 l bottle from ’Drankenservice Françoise’, 2016 version (best before February 2018) at 6.8% abv. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, rather dense, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, fruity-floral and a little spicy, almost saison-like aroma of peach, fresh grass, lemon zest, hints of clove and gooseberry. Sweetish, fruity-floral and yeasty-spicy taste of lemon zest, gooseberry, clove, some grass and hints of banana, followed by a short, moderately-dry bitter, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, slightly spritzy and effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. This is far from being a bock, it resembles more a Blond/Saison-hybrid. Apart from that dogmatics, it is very refreshing, maybe not that intense though but quite tasty and well-balanced. Nice!

33 cl bottle from De Bierkoning - or what was left of it:gusher, but I was able to catch about 25 cl. Murky amber light brown color. Large head with big bubbles, quickly receding. Aroma’s: bready malts, spices, a bit plastic. Quite sweet retronasal, with yeast and light fruit. Really not much flavor, light sweet, spices. Medium bodied. Finish is short, not much flavor. They really have to do better next time.
33cl bottle from biernavigatie. Bad gusher. About a third left. Cloudy amber pour. A dreadful beer.
On tap at PRNH Meibockfestival. Murky golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of yeast, plastic, fruits, pear. Flavour follows, lots of dead yeast, plastic, dry, light malty, sweet fruits, yeasty bitter finish. Light-bodied. Not great.
