Pale amber coloured beer with a nice white head. Yeasty, malty and not so good aroma. Very spicy and sweet flavour, way to sweet but special in a way. Not the beer for me. (Bottle 33cl)

330 ml bottle, comes in a paper wrap. An off-white two-finger head upon a orange colored, hazed body. A sweetish-acidulous fruit scent of dried apricot up front, along with notes of earthy hops. Sweet-flavored; like the juice from a can of fruitcocktail. Chewy texture. Sugary finish.

Orange to amber colour. Medium head. And nice gammy smells. And sweet taste but sweetness do not bother you and let you enjoy the beer. Nice sweet beer.

Bottle from Bier Koning. Orange body with medium head. Sweet, fruity nose. Some spices. Too sugary overall.

Bottle, Village de la Biere, Strasbourg. Slightly hazy orange with an off white head. Sweet, floral aroma. Very sweet and syrupy flavour with some yeast, fruit and spice in there. Not really my thang but drinkable.

Flower honey and subtly overripe fruit in the nose draws the curtains on this little ladies’ gem. Great to look at with an attractive, slighly cloudy orange sheen, and a pretty foam head. Good lacing. Supremely sweet in the finish, but unlike most rarified Belgians this one is singularly monotonous and smacks of disgusting white sugar. One for the novice lady drinker, perhaps?

UPDATED: APR 3, 2011 33cl, brew with flowers, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, yet heavy brew, not balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

Thanks to my wife for bringing this beer back from Belgium. Pours an apricot gold color with a 1/2 finger creamy head. Nose of sweet floral aromas, fruits, spices, hops and grains. Flavor is wonderfully sweet malts with flowers, ginger, bready malts, raisins and quite a bit of candy sugar...a lot going on. Real rich and creamy with a sweet lingering finish. Becomes almost like a really sweet tea as you drink it.
