Drank this at Sunnys Restaurant Bangalore. Pours a hazy orange with lots of head. Intial fruity flavors - peach, apple. A touch of bitterness in the end. A complex beer and I like this a lot better than the Achel Brune.

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.

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.

Bottle. Quite clear yellowish color, very large white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit and yeast. The taste was fresh with hints of spices, yeast, alcohol. Easy to drink.
