Mild sweet smell. Pointed, but mild hop flavor that quickly kills the flavor and leaves a dry, raw, slightly grainy taste. Very nice aftertaste with no hop flavor just a nice fresh grainy mild taste.

Uerige Obergarige Hausbrauerei Alt
Slightly sweet aroma with hints of hop smell. Good fresh hop taste, medium strong. Finishes with a good hop aftertaste. Very good fresh, raw, grainy taste (as I had it straight from the brewery…). Gravity served from big barrels on the bar. Every now and then you hear a low rumble as a barrel goes rolling by either on its way to or from the bar.

Poperings Hommelbier
Sweet smell, actually smelled a bit like milk. Then has that typical Belgian yeast flavor, with hints of IPA-like hops in the background. Finishes with a light grain flavor. So all in all, kind of like a mild “milk IPA”…

Dubuisson Cuvee Des Trolls
Slightly sweet smell, not really appealing at first- smells kind of like a mass market lager. But very nice taste. Smooth but tasty. Finishes nicely with a very mild hop taste that fades smoothly. Ingredients includes sugar, which must give it its smoothness. After a few more drinks, decided it tasted very similar to Kid Rock Badass Lager.

Nice light aroma. Fresh taste that leaves you with a mouth watery effect. Fresh and light. Mild to no aftertaste.

Strong sweet smell. Strong sweet flavor, a bit harsh and alcohol-ly. Slight fruit aftertaste.

Grimbergen Blonde
Very faint sweet smell. Not much taste, then a strong sweet taste. Slightly harsh, on the verge of sour. Maybe bad keg or unclean lines at this hotel bar. Leaves a kind of “Budweiser” aftertaste in your mouth

Corsendonk Bruin
No aroma. If you sniff really hard, you maybe get a light fruity smell like strawberries. Very smooth, almost tasteless. Then a faint malty sweetness sneaks into the aftertaste. Pretty good, hard to find anything to complain about, but likewise hard to find something to get excited about, too.

New Holland Mad Hatter
Slight sweet smell. Great strong grainy hops taste. Finishes crisp with a clean biting hop aftertaste that slowly fades. Very nice. Had this one on draft at the brewery.
