ah, this is much better, with much less weird fruity notes. It actually smells beer, but much less than the other version, which is bizarre. Much more refined and quite clean, with some hints of white flowers. Not bad at all. I guess they should stick to distilling beer, the result is so much better!

again, it has nothing to do with whisky – it’s just some nice distilled beer – but it’s quite good, nicely fruity (apricot?) and more elegant than the other version. It obviously lacks ageing, but again, this one shouldn’t be bad on ice. A company called Wolfberger makes what they call ‘Fleur de Bière’ (Beer Flower) near my place, and it’s rather similar, even if this Belgian expression is a little better, I’d say. But hey, Belgian beers ARE the best, so, no wonder! Anyway, I think we should encourage this small new distillery, their products are promising, and I’m looking forward to tasting them when they’ll get matured, as they have put some into wood. Anyway, 60 points for this interesting Pur.e Malt ‘distilled from Belgian beer’. MUSIC – Recommended listening: it's rough, it's dirty, it's simple... But it's purely excellent: blues guitarist Jimmy Thackery does Hang up and drive - mp3 . (thanks to Blind Pig records ) Please buy Jim's records!
