Thanks Simon. Sorry, being a bit stupid but do you mean that the original Amer Picon is still available from Belgium, as well as the Bière and Club versions? I've seen contradictory info around e.g. some people saying that the Bière version is the same as the Picon Amer but others disagreeing.

Thank you Simon - just ordered some, hopefully (my Flemish isn't very good!)

I've not tried each of the various different Amer Picons against each other but their alc./vol.s helps confirm my suspicion that they all vary slightly. Amer Picon is made by/for Diageo Belgium and is still available via online shops based in Belgium.
