Very interesting fruity beer, feels more like a very heavy apple cider instead. If you like fruity lambics it is worth a try.

Belgian beer review: Leeuwse Witte / Blanche du Lion
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
Nice but rather plain white beer. Refreshing nevertheless, but not a favourite.
Michelada
I wonder whether a European would ever consider adding salt, lime juice and chili sauce to a beer…
It is, however, a delicious concoction for a warm day.
Westvleteren
Seth Godin has a post on his blog about the mythical Wesvleteren beer. And to think that I was never able to get it when I was living in Brussels…
I just love Berlin
Berlin and Brussels are probably the most underrated cities in Europe. Both have a great art scene, good and cheap food, friendly people, lots of variety and foreigners and to top it all, great beer.
QotD: World’s Best Beer
What is the best beer on planet Earth?
Submitted by Remmy Van Hornie.
The one you prefer. My posts on beer can give a better idea on my preferences.
If you want a quick summary on my suggestions for Belgian beer, they would be the following:
- If you like dark ales, nothing I've tasted beats Chimay Brune.
- If you're more into clearer brews, I'd say Brigand Blonde is quite good (but you'll probably find Leffe Blonde or Duvel more easily).
- If you would like to taste fruity beers, Special St. Louis Kriek or Timmermans Kriek are quite nice.
- On the other hand, if the taste of Brussels is what you have in mind, Timmermans Gueuze Lambic is what you seek.
- And for white wheat beer, I still prefer Hoegaarden.

This is Belgium
With less than one week left, I’ve been thinking about the things I’ll miss from my time in Brussels. The ones pictured are but two of them.
Belgian beer review: Timmermans Tradition Kriek Lambic
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
Very nice colour in a rather acidic kriek. Not good as an introduction to fruity kriek beers, but interesting nonetheless.
Belgian beer review: Lindemans Faro Lambic
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
Bittersweet lambic: initially sweet, then bitter. Interesting beer but definitely only for those seeking unusual tastes in a beer.
