Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Hazy orange pour, average frothy average off-white head. Fruity sweet malt, light soft spice, dry and yeasty, moderate alcohol. Taste follows - a little alcohol/herbal hop bitterness in the finish. Decent body, lightly boozy - some hops there, otherwise pretty standard.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Aroma is sweet some cinnamon, and other spices, a bit hot, and some light citrus fruit. Easy to drink and the 8% does it part. Good beer.

Attractive, deep caramel pour. The nose is yeast and banana. The flavor is sweet complexities and malt.

Poured from 33ml bottle an amber orange with off-white medium sized head that faded quickly and low carbonation. Aromas of rising dough with bubblegum and a yeasty tartness. Flavors of light toasted bread, caramel, some soft fruit hints like pineapple and mango, and a bit of bubblegum. It has a nice balance between sweet and dry. Palate is mildly sweet with a yeasty tartness and very mild spiciness. I liked this beer. Wish it had better carbonation which would drive up the spice, but I’d buy this one again.

Aroma is fruity with banana and pineapple tones. Color is a hazy orange with very low carbonation and the head dissipates quickly to nothing at all. Taste is light and fruity. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down smooth with a slight fizzy feel. Finish comes in fruity with an apple and pineapple flavor followed by just a tiny bitterness. After taste is clean with a warm feel and just a hint of alcohol. This is a tasty brew and makes for a nice Christmas brew. This is the fourth beer from a box set called Christmas in Belgium and is the best one so far.

[1114-20080220] 11.2floz (w/ jerc). Sweet honeyed and roasted pineapple aroma with mango hints. Hazy, dark orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Sweet malty pineapple flavour has a slightly tangy finish. Medium body. Enjoyable.
