2.8 From bottle. Transfer of an earlier rating without text recorded, rating only.

2.8 Botella @Au Bon Vieux Temps, Bruselas 10/09/17. BBD: 27/06/18 Color ambarino epuma blanca, sabores a malta notas dulces cuerpo ligero.

3.0 Fles. Licht biertje. Klein beetje zoet, maar niet overdreven. Niet schokkend, maar goed te doen. Prima bij mosselen overigens (op een vakantie gemerkt). En lekker in Belgisch 25 cl flesje - zouden meer bieren moeten doen.

2.7 Not as bad as seems. Some toasty malts, a few bittering hops, light floral esters. Medium carbonation.

3.0 Bière du bon vieux temps et toujours référencée dans l’histoire de la bière et notamment celle des "ale" ! Couleur ambrée, nez malté, herbeux et levures. Bouche fraîche en références avec le nez et une très légère amertume. Il est de bon ton de "tuer" ce qui a été puis qui a été dépassé depuis un certain temps. "De Dochter van de Korenaar", "Mikkeller" ou "Millevertus" font certainement mieux que cette Vieuxtemps mais franchement, il ne faut pas cracher dans la bière, ce n’est pas cela qui va améliorer leur goût ! Par ailleurs, je suis étonné d’avoir encore trouvé cette bouteille (25 cl) en grande surface ! Tchin Didier !

2.5 Drunk from 25cl bottle at bar in Auderghem, Brussels. Nothing to write home about.

2.9 Robe ambrée, belle mousse abondante. Nez plutôt banal, farine, fermentaire, pointe d’agrumes. Bouche tout aussi banale, aqueuse, légèrement amère et courte. A oublier ....

3.0 Tap at A la Becasse, Brussels. Clear dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of herbs, light fruits, caramel and Belgian yeast. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation.

2.6 33cl bottle at la Becasse, Brussels. Medium creamy white head. Hazy amber pour. Very average

2.5 Bottle 25cl / Botella 25cl. @ Cerveceria Internacional, Sevilla, España. A: Amber / Ambar. T/S: Cereal, fruity, sweet / Cereal, afrutado, dulce.

1.9 Aroma has barnyard and weird metallic scent. Appearance is normal, head is minimal. Taste is light and uninspiring. This beer was nothing to remember, fortunately the bottle was only 25cl.

2.8 F: average, white, average lasting. C: very deep gold to amber, clear. A: malt, hay, some estery fruitiness, biscuit, caramel, molasses, yeast. T: malty, grainy, light peach fruitiness, hay, biscuit, light white sugar, light body, average carbonated, nothing memorable.

2.0 25cl Flasche. Bräunliches Bier mit hellem Schaum. Malzig und süsser Duft. Standard Geschmack. Industriebier.

3.0 Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear brown colour lasting beige head. Vague ester on the aroma. Some caramel. In the mouth it’s the same, some ester, some peach, some caramel. Some fruit salad on the finish. It’s simple and uncomplicated. Not great, but no bad flavours either.

1.3 Nez: Caramel, sucre candi Bouche: Maltée, caramel, sucrée J’ai retrouvé ça au fond de la cave. Comment ça a pu arriver là ? Aucun intérêt sauf si vous aimez le sucre candi à forte dose.

2.9 Behoorlijke schuimkraag. Bier is donkergeel van kleur. Aroma is fryitig. Bier zelf smaakt zacht en wat zoetig. Best wel ok.

2.9 amber coloured body with a white head and a hoppy malt aroma one hoppy malty sweet taste with a little bitter finish

2.7 One of the classic ’spéciales belges’, once a renowned brand in its own right, now one of the many InBev victims. Only purely commercial considerations will determine whether this is kept in existence or not, but in any case it has been an InBev-infected shadow of itself for many a year now. In this form, a clear amber coloured beer with decent off-white head and light (not to say thin) mouthfeel with hints of caramel, pasteurization obviously present, very light nutty touch, medium carbo and a weak touch of vaguely bitterish grassy hops hidden in the background. My father loved this in its original form, fortunately he will not be faced with this InBev ’imitation’ / abomination anymore. I wonder what the difference is with Ginder Ale and Horse Ale, if those two even still exist at all; it is an open secret that Jupiler has been sold as Safir from Aalst for quite some time by those capitalist crooks of InBev (or perhaps still Interbrew at the time) just to keep customers - I would not be surprised if something similar is going on with these three brands.

3.1 Gyldenbrun klar med kremete offwhite skum. Lukter noe røkt skinke og lett fruktig. Røkt også i smak. lett bitterhet som sitter ut avslutningen.

1.5 This beer has’t improved since Inbev took over. Their malts are just not as good as the ones the old brewers used. A pity, this used to be a good Belgian ale. The label is very messy, too.

2.1 Pours clear amber with medium white head. Aromas are grassy hops, floowers and spices. Sweet taste. Medium carbonation, light body. Short grasy finish.

3.0 Medium white head, chestnut colour, yeasty grape malts some sour bread, medium carbonation malts fresh yeast

1.9 25cl, best before11/09/14. The beer starts malty and grainy. Watery-mouldy, grainy, not too deep. Short grainy-watery aftertaste. Highly drinkable session beer with not much taste.

3.0 Bottle Pours clear amber, ok white head and no real scent . Taste is herbal, sweet, funky sugar , some malts . Bit of a plastic-like taste .

3.2 33 cl. bottle. Amber colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of caramel, spice, fruit, yeast and bready notes.

2.5 Amber with fastly dissappearing samll white head. Watery bitterness with strong pesky note.

1.4 25cl bottle, Delhaize home, bb05/2015. A rough, adjunct-laden and colorant-studded "amber/ambrée/amberkleurig" macro interpretation of a spéciale belge, without any inherent malt aromas and very harsh green, grassy hoppiness. The aroma of burnt corn husks and old canned corn seepage is immediately off-putting, its watery texture belies its amber body, the harsh recipe leaves your palate furry, dry and unrewarded. - This always used to be the cheap grandfather version of Palm, but now it has degraded to even that common quencher’s undead husk.

2.7 Gave fra Borup. Kobber farvet i glasset med lidt skum som ikke rigtig forsvinder, en svag aroma af (brød/ småkager), smager jævnt af næsten ingen ting, dog har den smagen af mild Ale og en ok konsistens.

2.2 Een bier met niet zoveel smaak aan naar mijn mening. Dan zijn er betere te vinden

2.4 Strange beer, like a remnant from the old world. Taste like a dusty replica of special belge beers like Palm.
