Orange blonde color. Creamy aroma with some hops and a hint of caramel. Same flavor. Somewhat herbal with some yeast character, especially in the aftertaste. The aroma promises more than the flavor delivers.

Bottle, bought @ Delirium, Brussels.
[vintage 2006]
Pours cleear, lovely metallic orange with a firm, staying, creamy, white head. Aroma has oxidized notes, but only just, caramel, Belgian sugar, light chocolate and a hint of coffee. Medium carbonation, fine creamy and fairly light mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, no sign of oxidation, caramel, softly sherry-like, a hint of grainy coffee in the rather bitter and dry finish.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, cloudy, small head, nice brew, exists with three different original labels

330ml bottle. Golden orange body with a relatively small white head. Aroma is malt, caramel and some kind of spicy sweetness. Flavor is sweet malty with some caramel and alcohol. Relatively Ok, but a bit too sweet and alcoholic for me.

Bottle @ Maria tasting. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet, citrus, pine. Flavour is sweet, citrus, pine, hop, yeast. OK beer.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It pours an almost clear, golden body with a white head. Citrusy, piney aroma. Piney in a way that made me wonder if it was caused by something else than hops. It’s also quite fruit, and has some maltyness. It’s more balanced in the flavor, sweet and malty and fruity. Some fruity syrup as well, the kind of syrup you find in canned fruit cans. Sticky-sweet in the mouth, with a fruity finish and some white sugar. A quite beer, but it’s the kind of beer there’s thirteen of in a dozen. (080412)

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy amber golden with a rough, off-white head. Tart, fruity nose. Medium body, accents of fruit and caramel with a light acidity. The finish has a somewhat brutal and unrefined bitterness. 170408

Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s a warm golden beer with an interesting aroma with sweetness and notes of fruit, mostly exotic fruits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of exotic fruits, spice, yeast, tannic acid and it’s at the same time harsh, sweet and cloying. It’s very "different", but not bad and very interesting.

Pale golden of color with a white head. An aroma of fruit, dry notes and spice. a flavor of fruits, peach and sweet notes.

Hazy orange with tiny short lasting head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel and hoppy notes.
