Une bouteille partagée avec Frank. Merci! Best by : 03/08/2016. Meilleure qu’une simple amber ale. Easy drinker for sure. Ce n’est certainement pas une bière excitante à boire. Pas de défauts ni de très grandes qualités. La note de passage haut la main.

Normal and decent beer. Too soft for a Belgian but nice to drink at home or with friends too.

Bottle. Amber pour with a white head. Floral hops, sweet malt and toffee in the aroma and taste. Decent beer for the price.

Tmoney99 (12247) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 6, 2015
Bottle. Poured clear dark amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate sweet malt and floral aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting soft beer.

shrubber85 (9341) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - JUL 30, 2015
Bottle. Toffee malt and hay aroma. Amber with nice off-white head. Mildly sweet apple, toffee malt and mildly bitter herbal hay flavor. Body a bit light. Decent especially given it was $5.99 for a sixer. Aldi’s is the go-to place in the states for decent cheap beers.

Amber brew with fast falling head. Smells and tastes of caramelized malts with a tad bit of bread flavor to it. Really decent brew that I will be going for again this fall. yeah more of a fall enjoyment so still too hot today to really get into it. Would say the price is good but when you look at they took almost half a beer out of the six pack it is actually about par on price.

Another Belgian import purchased at Aldi. This one costs $6.49 a six-pack. 330 ml brown bottle, brewed by Martens Brouwerij in Bocholt, Belgium. Pours a very clear dark amber. The aroma is fairly neutral, perhaps a bit yeasty. Nice off-white head with good foam retention. The flavor is full, malty and good, but does not have the oily dry hops found in so many American micro amber ales. Overall a very nice amber ale with a distinctive Euro touch.

Patrickctenchi (5107) - Cox’s Knob, columbus, Indiana, USA - JUN 18, 2015
Bottle: Pours clear copper with a small white head. Light caramel, bread scent. Taste is slightly tangy/metallic, caramel malt, a little earth and nuttiness. Truly, not too bad for an Aldi’s find.....not much of a Belgian, but passable as a bargain amber.

You won’t get any real Belgian character out of this beer, but what you will get is a passable amber that leans heavily towards red ale flavors. The Saaz hops are there, but in small quantities. A hint of brown sugar is present in the aroma. No off flavors. Balanced with a but of caramel malt character. Finishes somewhat sloppy with some metallic twang. A bit thin. Pours like a pretty penny though.
