(Bottled) Very hazy orange with a medium, white and (initially) lemonadey, lacy head. Quite stuffy and sulphury, acidic and yeasty, grainy-malty aroma. Sweetish, sour-acidic, grainy-malty flavor with lots of sugary lemon and lime in the finish. Even the yeast can’t really help this time, although it does cut the roughest edges. The overwhelming lime sourness hides the alcohol (and everything else) effectively. Medium-bodied, sour-acidic palate with medium carbonation. It does have personality, but I can’t say it’s very enjoyable.

Bottle. Hazy orange amber, thick cream colored head, solid lacing. Aroma of hay, wheat bread dough. Taste starts sweet, then light spice. Decent balance and nice body.

Bottle..... It pours hazy deep golden with a very small white head....The aroma is sweet, fruity and yeast..... the flavor is sweet, very alcoholic, warming alcohol, spices, fruits and yeast........

bottle 33cl. Orangée, col blanc fin.Arôme malt grillé léger, fruité, levure belge abbaye et grains. Bière présentant un profile dans la lignée des bières d’abbaye de par sa levure, palais réchauffant avec les 9.5%. Note fruitée tropical allant vers la pêche, sucre caramel, malt pale, le tout restant doux au palais. Je trouve cette bière plus que correcte, tout en gardant un profile bien artisanal.

Bottle from Beer Planet. Nice dark orange body with small head. Nose of toffee, caramel, malts, spices and fruits. Taste is also nice on the malts, with a sweet, cloying flavour. Sticky texture. Quite nice and enjoyable.

gusher. Murky brown, no head. Dusty cellary yeasty spicy aroma. Flavor is honey, flowers, malts, yeast. Slightly cellary.

Opening the bottle should be done with a glass very close and some quick hands... Beer everywhere... Murke orange-light brown coloured beer, almost no head, lots of floaters. Smell is sweet-sour caramel and fruits, yeast. The taste is earthy, very sweet, fruity, unbalanced. Unpleasant, very litte carbonation, siropy. Drinkeable, but not a triple like I’m used to, and like I like...

Warning! Early amateur rating! Crispish malts and a little darker malt with some tangy fruit. Rather obvious alcohol strength. Good though!

Authentique....exploding carbonation making straight for the worktop, but this time I was ready. Pours itself like an uncleaned fishbowl filled up with shaken lemonade; heavily sedimented, dirty orange swimming with unsavoury detritus. Aroma of honey, liquorice, copper coins and damp earthy yeast. Taste of raw alcohol heat, oak, honey on copper coinage, fruit syrup, decent underlying orange, pine and perfumed spice attempts swamped and muddied by yeast. Trace of malt in the aftertaste. Another dull, honeyed, hugely alcoholic Belgian I’m not going to finish. Yawn.

Sweet and fruitty. Orange/pinkish color with no head. Tastes sweet and strongly of pineapplewith a light alcohol finish.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, toffee, some sweet malts as well as mild spicy notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with some slight yeastyness. Also some mild sugary notes and alcohol as it warms up.
