Name that (Belgian) beer!

[morkus64]

There is a beer I brought back with me from belgium, but unfortunately I didn't keep the bottle or the label and now i've totally forgotten what it's called.

Things I know:

-There was a faerie on the label.
-It might have been called something like Forestina, but I can't find anything by that name on google. Almost definitely started with an F.
- It was not Floreffe, Fantome or Framboise or Foret
- the label was in cursive

HELP!

What kind of beer? "Belgium beer" is pretty vague.

 

[biggestmuff]

It may be the line of beers called "Floris". They are made by the Huyghe brewery. The same folks that make the Delirium line.

I'll try and think of some others if that's not the one.

 

[morkus64]

Not Floris or Fonteinen... My girlfriend remembers tasting orange and maybe cardamom.

What kind of beer was it? As soon as you said fairy, I thought of Ephemere, but that's a Belgian style from Canada, and not orange.

Unfortunately we don't remember the type... it was lightish, maybe orange in color too?

How about this one ?

Nope, although that is a great resource!

Update: WE HAVE A POSSIBILITY! It MIGHT be Super des Fagnes - the name sounds really familiar - but we're almost certain there was an almost naked lady on the label and i can't find a label for it like that. It might have been a nymph?

Beer is what the Germans were drinking when they invaded Belgium. You shouldn't drink.

Shut the fuck up. You troll very alcohol thread.

Those are fairly common ingredients that are brewed in witbiers.

Good luck with your search.

It's my mission in life to counter, in a very small way, the billions of dollars in pro-alcohol marketing flung at people every year and efforts by alcoholics to recruit newbies (yes, they do). I guess I should tone down the negatives and up the positives of not drinking.

Hot babes will beat their bare bosoms on your face if you don't drink. You shouldn't drink.

I think you are having trouble saying what you really mean. Let me help you clarify a little. What you meant was that it is your mission in life to impose your exceedingly narrow views concerning the consumption of alchohol. These are views that you base on the actions of less than 1 percent of alchohol consumers. If you know as much as you purport to know about alchoholism you would also know that the last thing on an alchoholics priority list is recruiting other alchoholics.

I myself do not drink anymore. I used to and on occasion still like a nice microbrew but for all practical purposes I am a non drinker. I grew up in an alchoholic home and not one of us children went down that path. Your insistence on attempting to impose your narrow views on the subject and your obvious lack of any substantive knowledge of the subject make your commentary highly annoying. If you were to conduct yourself this way face to face with me you would get one warning or maybe 2 depending on my mood. After that I would put you down. You are the worst type of busybody. You do not have the right to inject your criticisms (almost completely without basis I might add) into anyones business without invitation.

So be a good little busybody and run along. I am sure there must be someone in your HOA that has one to many dandelions in their yard or maybe has their car parked the wrong way in the driveway that you can go harass.

No, actually I base it on living in a society that considers non-drinking to be freakish behavior. People who act highly insulted that someone somewhere doesn't imbibe. People, who, knowing I don't drink, consider it an obligation to keep offering and asking just to make sure. Alcoholics do recruit and you are wrong on that note. I too grew up in an alcoholic family and two brothers, a sister, and half the cousins did travel that path. Feel free to ignore my posts but I will keep posting.

I like your posts. I ignore the message, but some of the phrasing's pretty funny :^D

You're wasting your time doing so on these forums. Plus you're pissing people off.

 

[morkus64]

No... I remember it being more sketch like... And there was some forest or something. She might have been a wood nymph. My girlfriend thinks it might have been called Forestina or something like that, but I can't find any belgian beers with names like that.

Nik, the air pisses you off, what's one more thing? Anyway, I'll leave Morkus64's thread alone.
