16 oz can. File under, "I'll drink anything once." An astonishingly clear, golden-yellow body. I might even say alarmingly so! Head is there briefly, and there's even a little lace. Nose is mostly a striking combination of artificial fruit esters....
If I'm honest this is definitely not a beer that I would ever reach for, but I also have a mantra of trying almost anything once. Additionally Kasteel and Van Honsebrouck have enough equity with me to allow me to not exactly give them the benefit...
Various sources describe this a a BSPA and a Tripel, but for me it sits in the former category despite the brewery offering this description; "Filou is a strong blonde, top-fermented beer. Its subtle spicy aromas and nuanced sweet flavour profile...
Dark brown/purple pour with a head to match. Aroma is all raspberries but without an overwhelming element. Moderate head, lace and retention are what we would expect - minimal. Very fruit forward without being medicinal. It is sweet, but it has a...
Pictured 02/08/26 Original notes 08/11/24 Hate the can. Anyway ... classic, hazed lemon colored pour with a decent head. The head is a little light in terms of density, but delivers some great lace. The lace redeems things a lot. As this warms...
An old acquaintance, never formally noted on the site, about 20 years overdue! Classic golden, utterly clear body, with a resplendent, bone-white ice-cream like head. Perfect appearance, the etched Kasteel glass works beautifully here. Head...
375 mL bottle, black foiled and capped. Lovely color with a copper, clear bond underneath a foamy, wispy head. Obviously an aggressive pour was required, and it's gone quickly, No lace, no retention. Nose gives a light ethanoic acid whiff and a...
I believe that this beer is now retired since it became Kasteel Donker. Not sure about that, though. A lot of anticipation here, this find of thing looks like it might be right up my alley. A sweet, Belgian Dark/Quad with a lot of sugar. Oddly, the...
Updated Notes 12/23/24 Thirteen years on from the original notes below, and I probably haven't drunk this beer in the meantime. Love the baby blue color scheme as I also noted in 2011. Pour is now a beautifully clear, orange golden body with an...
Updated notes 10/31/21 This is the bottled pictured. Best Before 24/11/2025. Just about 11 years since I made the original notes below. I’ve drunk this beer a few times in between, but without additional notes. Pour looks more black, and the head...
12.7 oz, mini-champagne bottle, complete with green glass and dimpled bottom. Very different to the current picture in the BA db. Thick glass with black foiled neck and neck label. Bottle has a confusing date. It literally says "Bottled On", 090414...
Mini-champagne, green glass, dimpled bottom and gold foiled neck. Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Light, honey colored body with some nice dense head and some pretty good retention and even a touch of lace. Some spotty head on the surface....
Pictured 06/09/24 Definitely black cherries, and this doesn't seem anywhere as sweet as it has in the past to me. Changing palates I suppose. Original notes 10/26/07 I've enjoyed the Kasteel range in the past because they have been really quite...
Additional notes 06/09/24 Pictured I always compare this beer to the Cuvée, and although I think I prefer the latter, this one is definitely a beer that I have turned to over the years when a sweet, high ABQ Quad is what I'm seeking. The Cuvée...
My guess is lots of people will not like this much. First off this is a VERY sweet beer. I like that, many will not. I like this type of beer for an occasional change of pace. Truth be known, it's really a girly beer, but every once in a while I...
Additional notes 01/08 New presentation with a black foiled neck and a new, updated label. Still in the corked & caged, dimple-bottomed, champagne style, heavy green glass bottle. Cork says bottled 06/2007. Beer seems a tad less aggressive....
