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

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 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. Aldis is the go-to place in the states for decent cheap beers.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20 dlihcsnatas (473) - Texas, USA - JUN 29, 2015
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.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 felsenpils (138) - Sacramento, California, USA - JUN 22, 2015
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.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Patrickctenchi (5107) - Coxs 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 Aldis find.....not much of a Belgian, but passable as a bargain amber.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 freekyp (1694) - Thomasville, North Carolina, USA - MAY 27, 2015
You wont 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.
