330ml bottle trappist glass. Pours nice clear golden colour, almost no carbonation and egg-white like head. Smell alcohol, grass, hops, taste is hops and a strong alcohol and bitter finish. Enjoyable strong blonde ale.

330ml bottle pours semi-cloudy golden honey with a tall, thick ice cream textured white head. Soft nose of minerally Belgian yeast, red apples and brown sugar, with a similar flavor: semi-sweet, light yeast presence, somewhat resinous red apple skins and a medium-sweet apple and caramel malt sweetness. Soft and delicate.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a big beautiful foamed white head, It has a very nice aroma of sweet and hop. there are coriander and fruity notes, like citrus. It has a mouth creamy feeling. The taste is fruity sweet of orange, peaches and some citrus. There are also some spicey tones in the back. A warmey beer when you taste it.

Cloudy, golden orange pour with a thick head that lingers. Sweet malty aroma with hints of caramel, dark fruit and alcohol. Flavor also sweet with notes of spice, raisin and other dark fruit. Strong carbonation.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Another Belgian beer that I really like. Slightly cloudy yellowish/orange color. Fluffy head. Aromas of stone fruits and cider. Flavors are yeasty and a hint of malty sweetness. Good stuff.

Bottle. High fluffy white long lasting head. Clear golden body. Fruity powerful aroma of apple and pear. Pretty carbonated fruity but mild flavor withoug much hops bitterness. Long sweet aftertaste.

Shared with dpjaurt. Pours a hazy apple cider color with a foamy off-white head. Has a malty nose with fruity yeast, raisins, and even some gummy bears. This has a lot going on. There is a deep malt flavor, but also a touch of citrus sour and a bit of bitterness. A pretty weak mouthfeel. A little carbonation, but kind of watery.
