A beer witha very nice abmer colour and an interestingly soft fruity flavour. Easy on the palate and very enjoyable overall.

Bagpipes in Antwerp
In Brussels and in Antwerp
As you may know, I'm Mexican and my fiancée is Finnish. We've been together for quite a few years, but as a friend says we probably look like one of those ads from United Colours of Benetton.
In Brussels I'm Morrocan or Turkish, whereas my fiancée is Flemish.
In Antwerp I'm Morrocan or Turkish, but dangerous anyway, whereas my fiancée is a local, or maybe Dutch.
In Brussels I blend in with the general population, and so does my fiancée.
In Antwerp, de Metropool, I have found more hostile stares directed at me, or worse, my fiancée when she's with me.
The good news is that at least everybody thinks that I speak their language: the French-speakers speak to me in French, the Dutch-speakers in Dutch, the Turks in Turkish, and the Morrocans in Arabic. The Spanish-speakers usually don't know who speaks Spanish here anymore 😉
Regardless of the interesting experiences, we had a very nice time in Antwerp, a beautiful but rather misjudged city where I have some good friends.

A beer from Antwerp with a very nice amber colour, and an interesting edgy malt and fruit flavour. It is refreshing, light and easy on the palate.

Belgian beer review: Premium Kriek St. Louis
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
An excellent, sweet kriek: simple taste with a little bite. Highly recommendable introduction to the world of cherry-flavoured beers, which of course are a Belgian specialty.
Belgian Beer Review: Corsendonk

A relatively easy-going blond triple beer. With a creamy touch and a pleasant aftertaste.
This winter doesn’t want to leave
And it didn't truly arrive. After a sunny week, this week has been rather cold, hitting 0°C during the night. The calendar says its spring, but the weather has been rather awful. Hope it improves.
Belgian Beer Review: Orval
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
Orval
is a famous Belgian trappist beer. It has an interesting caramel colour
and a nice aroma. Its taste starts very smoothy in the mouth but
afterwards becomes far too bitter for what I usually like. Still worth a try.

Belgian Beer Review: Bon Secours, originally uploaded by Chiva Congelado.
Interesting foamy dark beer. Slightly bitter, very complex taste, including hints of salt licorice (salmiakki for the initiated). A very pleasant aroma of pine woods was also found.
