Cloudy blond color with impressive head. Modest spice/yeast aroma and taste. After-taste is mostly alcohol, with some hop bitterness.

Pours yellow with a thick white head. Light aroma yeast and malt. Dry fruity lots of spices. champagne like mouth feel. This is a very nice beer dry and refreshing . An excellent beer. Aroma is very light and delicate.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange-brown. Foamy, soapy head. The aroma is a little funky, I’d assume spoiled. Still drinkable, even enjoyable. Pungent dark fruits and amber malt are accentuated. Nice effervescent mouthfeel, but the leathery aftertaste is just not right. Tastes like an Amber all the way. A little devolved, assumably better fresh. Herbal hop balance awash a sugary malt and yeast body.

Foamed over when opened even though it was chilled down to 38F. Cloudy and dark yellow with a huge head. Aroma of "dark" spice and yeast. Taste of lots of spice mixed with the Belgian yeast taste and more spice. I can’t detect the high alcohol in it and overall, it’s very good.

Bottle. Amber color, medium off white head. Aroma of apple skins. Taste is a bit on the sweet side, summer fruits and caramel. Not bad.

Golden colour, medium head. Aroma is fruity and alcoholic. Taste is sweet in this full bodied, creamy texture beer.

Szép arany szín, fehér habbal. Illata cukrosan édeskés, aszalt gyümölcsös. Ízében is az édesség a meghatározó, mazsola és más aszalt gyümölcsök, kis üde citrusossággal megtoldva. Leginkább egy komolyabb aszúra, vagy más desszert fehérborra emlékeztet. Helyettük akár ki is lehetne próbálni sajtokhoz, gyümölcsös desszertekhez vagy csak úgy, digestive italnak. Ha egy komolyabb édeskés sörre vágyunk, ez nem fog csalódást okozni.

Smells rather sweet with some granny smith apples mixed with some sugar. Tastes like apple juice with a little hoppy finish! Not too bad.
