Orange to red amber color. Huge carbonation pouring off the bottle. Smell is tart with some oak, fruits, and malts. Taste is light malts. Too light in flavor.

Bottle(ale)Pours a very pretty hazy red with a tall off white head. Aroma is very strong but pleasant. Apples and pear with a hint of cinnamon. Lovely. First sip reveals some initial sweetness again in the vain of an apple cider, but breaks with some really good and fresh tasting hops. This beer screams fresh to me. The hops are very in your face and make this extremely refreshing. Drinkabliity is through the roof. An amazing ale from a brewer I need to get to know!

I have a very old one (over three years old and if I remember correctly it is from the first brew. Cloudy amber beer with an off-white head. Aroma has a lot of Bretts in it and is very similar to Orval (I had an Orval yesterday so I can make a good comparison). Flavor is malty, fruity and a nice sourness. Again very similar to Orval. The finish is malty where the Orval has some bitterness. An excellent beer certainly if you have the chance to taste an old one. BTW the infection with Brettanomyces Brusseliensis was intented and not an accident.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy brown body with a small yellowish off-white head. Aroma of floral, leather, mustiness, and barnyard. Flavor of hops (floral, citrus, grass), herbs, fruity, and caramel malt.

Pleasant discovery, picked up without expectations but I enjoyed it untill the last sip. Very complex butvery easy to drink. Huge white lasting head, amber-orange color. Wonderful variegate aroma, very rich but balanced. Spicy, fruity (berries) and some yeast characters. Intense and quite persistent. The flavor matches well with the nose and it’s what I expected after having scented. A bitter backgroud and a light-medium body which seems fair for this beer.
