Nov 1, 2009 Pours a cloudy coppery golden yellow color with a huge three finger foamy white head that quickly fades into a lasting ring. Minimal spots of lacing.
Crisp golden fruit aroma with a surprising floral hop presence, especially for a Belgie. Hints of apple and pear as well as some light grape, raisin and subtle banana. Kind of earthy.
Very carbonated up front that fizzles on the tongue for a while followed by a spicy/zesty crisp golden fruit presence. Subtle floral hops, again more prominent than in the average Belgian beer, with some sweet estery apple and pear. Excellent balance of fruit and floral hops and the alcohol is very well masked with only a slight bit of warmth in the finish.

A wonderful crisp clean simple and floreal aromatic nose. Intense.
Nice white compact foam. Longlasting.
Golden in color with slight pale copper shine.
Simple 50% Pale 50% pils malt recepie, that really does the trick for this 5,5% beer. The bouquet of hops is perfectly composed for the malt profile.
The body is just right, keeps it a great drinkable beer but with enough personality to bring you through the whole evening.
I love this beer. Brewed and poured very well.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle… Cloudy golden ale with orange highlights and a large, billowing, white head. Good, long-lasting, tight retention. The nose is fruity/nectary and delicate. A touch biscuity. Medium-bodied with laid-back carbonation. Well-balanced, but also pretty nondescript. Refreshing, though, like Perrier. Crisp, clean finish.
