From a bottle at a House of Brews in NYC that was served too cold. After transfer of warmth from my hands, this beer began to open up. Copper blond with a creamy and silky head. Belgium yeast, malt, and spice. Medium body, with nice spice and creamy body. Well balanced.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, highly alcoholic, with a nice hop bite to it.

Pours a hazy coppery blonde with an extremely thick, foamy, white head with good retention. Aroma is fruity and spicy. Flavor is delicately sweet but with a good bitter finish. Good balance. Nice brew.

best before 12/05 thanks to thirdeye11. light murky brown with a white soapy head. nose is Belgian yeast, dried fruits, spices and sherry perhaps? nice thickness and a good fruity malt flavor. nice finish and no sign of alcohol at all.

Hazy yellow with a dense white head. Hop aromatic and fruity ester aroma with notes of oranges and spicy alcohol. Flavour is rather harsh with lots of alcohol, sharp fruity esters and a dry somewhat hot ending. Palate is very lively, almost sharp carbonation. Drinkable but a bit sharp around the edges.
