Fair enough. Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 03:27:55 PM
It's too fruity-sweet/spicy for my liking to go with food. I'm weird about flavor combinations though. I'm aware that it's completely irrational (because I have no problem drinking wine with savory foods, but then I don't drink sweet wines either), but there you have it :D I prefer the less sweet beers with food.

I see. I don't think of it as that sweet, but then I guess really bitter beers are not really big in Belgium, that's more of a British/Irish thing... Mostly I think of it as very refreshing, hence I definitely agree with you on the summer aspect.

I guess I do agree that really sweet wines or really sweet beers - as in, actual fruit beers - don't go together with a normal meal very well.
Witbier I guess? But if you don't know, there's really no chance for the rest of us :P

Oh, witbier is Flemish, that's not the point - I didn't recall exactly how it was spelled in English, whether it was a literal copy, a calque or something inbetween.

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 773 Views
