330 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original old Oud Zottegems chalice a clear rich golden-amber coloured B A with half a finger beige foamy head that had a quite short retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is sweet malts and fruity, grainy sourish apples, strong notes of wood. The flavour is quite the same, sweety malts, fruity, apples, pears,with sourish notes. The mouthfeel is sparkling and a bit thin. This medium bodied B A has a dry fruity finish. A very refreshing and drinkable B A. Not the same recipe as in my memory for about 35 years.

A soft pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces a three-finger thick, pale tan colored head. The beer is brilliantly clear with a bright amber color and a perfectly clear, reddish copper hue when held up to the light. The aroma smells of toffee, quince paste, biscuit like malt, dusty crushed grain aromas, cider apples and lightly tart plum notes.
Quite well carbonated, the beer foams up as it hits my tongue. The beer is fairly dry and definitely light bodied, but not watery. This finishes with a spicy hop character and a lingering hop bitterness that is perhaps a bit more noticeable than I had expected. The malt character here seems a bit dusty and perhaps a bit oxidized. Some flavors reminiscent of cider, perhaps a touch of plum and some maltiness that reminds me of crackers and caramelized bread crust.
There is not a whole lot going on with this beer. It might be a little over the hill as it seems to be showing the affects of some light oxidation at this point. Not bad, but not overly interesting either.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small off-white head. Strong fruitish hoppy aroma with hints of caramel. Flavour is yeasty and fruity along with some bitterness. Some notes of alcohol is also present, but not disturbingly.
