Cloudy orange-amber color; big creamy head; the bottle keep gushing a lot; this is the more cloudy one in the lot.
Nice aroma, strongly piney, dry resins, light plastic, light rosemary; peculiar, but also the most interesting among the three.
The body is better constructed than the others, with a medium strength and a bit rounder mouthfeel; there is strong flavor, dry caramel and toffee mix, with a limited residual sweetness; then a powerful, extreme hopping, very resiny, but there is also an evident yeast component to add some complexity.
The final is quite harsh, both because of the oily hops and the yeast, extremely bitter, very long.
This is the one with more complexity, but mainly due to the qualities of a good and spicy Belgian beer than to the hop. Still, it’s a bit excessive.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, herbs, yeast, and grapefruit. Flavor of grass, light brett, citrus, and pineapple with a dry, bitter finish.
