Cloudy, murky orange and brown - but still looks good. Aromas are sweet and malty with spices and yeast. Flavours are also yeasty with oranges, yeast and a good level of bitterness on the finish. Has a perfect level of carbonation. A good dry aftertaste and warming alcohol.

Keg at Delirium’s Café
Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Nice malty aroma, with some hop and spices. Very good taste, which combines the maltiness, quite sweet in the front, to the late bitterness. Aromatic and spicy. Good, as always by Abbaye des Rocs.

Draught @ Delirium Cafe: Golden coloured. Dusty. Nice white lasting head. Yeast, malt, sweetness and light fruit in the nose. Sweet, fruity and light malty flavour. Fresh and fruity aftertaste.

Draught at Delirium Café, Bruxelles, Belgium. Hazy and golden. A fresh and yeasty aroma, though weak. A bit thin and short, yeasty flavour wirh fruity notes.

Hazy yellow, normal head. Has a yeasty and fruity aroma. Flavor is malty and sourish with some hops. A somewhat spicy finish.

Hazy yellow to gold in color. Rich white head with millions of tiny bubbles. I don't detect much aroma however, if I try real hard somewhere in there I get a hint of fruity esters. The flavor is fresh and vivrant, slightly fruity. Overall nice balance with a cleansing bitterness.

Bottle conditioned, ZBF 2004. Hazy gold, long lasting but thin white head, moderate condition. Muted fruity malt and low yeastiness in the nose, full bodied and malty in the mouth with slight sweet yeastiness lingering through to the finish before turning dry and slightly chalky.

Blond beer with a small head. Weak aroma. The taste is rather spicy and light bitter. A good beer but not in any way exceptional.

[Draught] Hazy golden coloured. Spicy and fruity. The finish is rather bitter and fresh. An ok beer, but I know they can do better.

[Draft at ZBF 2004] A clear yellow beer with a fine disappearing though lazing head. The aroma is sweet spicy. The flavor is sweet oranges with hints of alcohol. The end is dry with notes of corriander and hops.
