JayBaxter (408) - Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - FEB 7, 2009
Hazy deep gold beer that was absolutely crammed full of floaties, aroma has that distinct "Belgian Strong" edge to it. Taste is citrussy with a malty finish to it - a beer worthy of a higher score.

armando629 (1939) - Budapest, HUNGARY - DEC 31, 2008
Hazy golden body with a nice head what dimish to a small lacing one. Spicy and sourish aroma of yeast and coriander, fruity citruses and a fine floral hop. Fruity flavor with citruses, orange peel, apple, fine spicy coriander, honey, in the finish is a fine hop. Sourish coriander, some sweet alcohol and the fine floral hop in the aftertaste. Tasty and complex, it warms me up.

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUL 8, 2008
Bottle, bought @ Pivni Gallerie, Prague.
Pours a clear yellowish golden, with quite a lot of small particles. A small, frothy white head. Nice yeasty aroma, lots of oranges, pineapple and biscuity malts. High and lively carbonation. Flavour is nicely fruity with apples, oranges, light lemony zest and pineapple. A firm, yeasty note as well. Refreshing.
