Sigmund (1964), Hafrsfjord, Norway Aug 29, 2008 330 ml stubby bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 6.6%. Contains barley malt, wheat malt, oats and spelt, hops, yeast, coriander and orange peel. Hazy golden colour, huge head. Typical "Belgian" aroma: ale yeast, spices, fermenting fruits. The flavour is spicy but also very refreshing for a beer of this strength, moderately sweet with decent hops in the finish. Just a touch of citrus. Well balanced and pleasant to drink. thewolf (3991), Kolding, Denmark Mar 30, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours a pretty, light hazy dark yellow. A fine, creamy white head. Okay lacing and good duration. Aroma is nicely fruity, good banana, oranges, some almonds, yeast and light fruity hops. Rather lively mouthfeel - good creaminess. Flavour is wonderfully fruity sweet. Some apples, pineapple, banana, oranges and the nutty almond tones prevail. A light spicy hoppiness in the finish. This is a great brew. Jerre (1410), Waregem, Belgium Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2008Bottle, 33 cl. @ home. (bought Geers) Hazy, darkgolden color, with white head.
Aroma fruity, sweet, yeast, some spice. Medium body. Taste start light sweet, bit bitter, fruits, some spice touch.
Not bad.
Davinci (258), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 22, 2008 Bottle at Belchie bar in Barcelona. Pours a hazy golden honey color with a nice fluffy white head. Nice sticky lacing. bar was smokey so nose was hard to notice. Primarily esters of banana and clove. Flavor is nice banana clove bubblegum mix, with some pepper, heather flower, and a touch of lemon at the end. Very sprtizy tingle and creamy body. Very enjoyable. yespr (6948), Copenhagen O, Denmark Feb 4, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Aroma is complex wheaty/spelt grainy with a very pronounced note of orange peel and a mild yet distinct spice note, underlying is a very classic Belgian yeasty note. Flavour is rather complex and following the same lines as the aroma. Orange peel and coriander take a step forward in a medium sweet fruity beer. Ends with a lingering wheat and spelt flavour with a little remaining orange peel note. Lovely!
