March 2011: 330 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård. ABV is 6.6%. Deep golden colour, slightly hazy, huge white head. Aroma of herbal and grassy continental hops, also some spicy notes. The flavour is sweet (maybe too sweet) with notes of white kandi sugar, some fruity and spicy hints. Drinkable, but not the greatest Belgian ale I’ve had.

Picked this one in a supermarket this afternoon for 1,60€.

Poured the 33cl bottle into a Chalice.

Hazy color, smell like blond fruits, spice and Belgian yeast.

Overall a decent Belgian pale Ale. Would recommend.

Firstly I wouldn't call it a belgian strong pale ale as it's 6.60%... This beer is far to be one of the greatest Belgian pale ale. Very average, maybe under average.

Hazy deep golden pour with big frothy head.
Aroma is dominated by spicy yeast and notes of coriander.
Taste follows the nose with some spicy yeast but not as powerful as the smell.
Medium, soft body with good carbonation.

Overall this was a very decent belgian blonde.

Hazy dark orange pour, fluffy white head with nice retention.
Smells of blond fruit, spices, coriander, Belgian sugars and hops.
Sweet fruit in the taste, mixed with big sugars (even some candi in there). Typical yeasty spiciness, a bit herbal, low grainy malts. Spicy mildly bitter finish with a decent hop presence.
Medium body, a bit thick, medium carbonation.
Somewhat regular, but that doesn't mean mediocre.

Brown 25cl bottle, slightly out of date (by 3 months). Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand cru stemmed tulip glass, without any sediment leaving the bottle. This is another one of those 'label beers', no brewery, just contracted out with the name 'Ploegsteert' as a front. This is the third in the set I've reviewed.

Snow white bubbley head on top of a lagerlike golden, bright body.

Very little aroma, even as the beer warmed. Mostly alcohol esters with maybe hints of Belgian yeasts if I sniff really hard.

The taste seems to be more alcohol than anything else, a bit like those strong lagers that have no flavour but give you a huge headache.

Not impressed, better than the Du Bocq brewed Queue De Charrue Amber, but not as good as the Queue De Charrue Brune, which is brewed by Verhaeghe.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: clear light orange-bronze colour. The head is white, moderately low and delicate. Poor retention followed by very little lacing.
Aroma: sweet malts, alcoholic vinous and some ripe fruits notes.
Taste: confirms the aroma plus caramel and some spices.
Mouthfeel: unctuous, moderate carbonation and a full body. Warming and very high alcoholic strength (although not so apparent as you would expected from a 9.0% ABV beer).
Finish: sweet alcohol aftertaste.

Overall Queue de Charrue is an interesting beer to be appreciate slowly. It is complex and strong. Unfortunately I only bought a 25 cl bottle, leaving me wanting for more.

I had a bottle at Paix in Poperinge.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden with a thick, white head that fades to a persistent quarter-inch layer leaving patchy lace.

Smell: Grainy with some pepper and light citrus.

Taste: Subdued fruity sweetness upfront with a peppery and grainy finish with a light bitterness.

Mouthfeel: High carbonation, light-bodied with a grainy dryness.

Drinkability: Good, sweet and spicy.

Bottle 25 cl. Nice white big foam. Color is very pale, almost as a white beer, and cloudy. Aroma is fruity, spicy, glazed fruits, cake, some lemon, coriander. In the mouth I feel cake, some fruits, maybe apple or pear, cream. Slightly sourness and very refreshing.
