<b>Bottle 33cl.</b>
Unclear medium yellow orange color with a large, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light hoppy, lemon, fruity, honey notes. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081010]

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slowly diminished white and lacing head. Aroma is mild acetone yeasty and light caramel malty. Smooth caramel malt flavoured with a distinct yeasty base. Light alcohol warmth into the finish. Classic yeasty and caramelish Belgian beer, I would call this a triple rather than a Belgian Strong.

On tap at Bier Circus, Brussels. Hazy, pale golden with a nicely lacing white head. Potent grassy and spicy hops aroma. Fruity flavours blending with good bitterness. Dangerously drinkable.

Appears to be different from the Circus Bier, which was another special for Bier Circus from Hopperd. On draft, pours clear and bright yellow-gold with tight, filmy white head. Nose is lightly honey-sweet, with soft lemon and banana esters, and a touch of funky hayshed. Tastes pretty sweet, bright and fruity with some balance from a light bitterness in the back. Hides its strength well enough.
