Hazy amber and lots of head. Champagne-ish aroma, stylish and refined, with zesty floral notes. Hoppy, dry and with dry spice and florals. Good stuff.

[2011] Hazy dark golden color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of melon, tropical fruits, honeydew, toffee malts, toast, and alcohol. Taste of light citrus, melon, honey, light spices, and alcohol in the finish.

@Mondial de la Bière 2012, Montreal - quite clear blond beer; little foam left; slightly vinous, champagne-like; very fizzy and full-bodied; really sweet; quite dry and fruity, acidic, long lasting - very nice beer

Pours golden with a more-than-3-fingers head. Very bubbly, but micro-bubbles, so it’s very pleasant. Spicy and orangy. Medium body. There’s a little sweet edge at the end with an herbal hop finish. VERY nice.

Bottle
Aroma honey, floral notes with alcohol, sweet sugars. Good blend.7+
Appearance fine haze on amber with medium white top.3+
Flavor and Palate : Front mid thin. Fairly high carbonation. Hints of vanilla, caramel and spice. Alcohol warmth on top. Solid.

Bottle at mondial. Fabulous head is loose and luscious and long lasting. Hazy golden body. Aroma is fabulously dry and hoppy with tangerine highlights and well developed nutty pale malt undertones. Smells promising. Too carbonated and gassy but the flavors are so much fun with kumquat, candied orange peel, and distinct curacao finish. Lively and fun. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Fountaining foam to fast dwindling fluffy white head over clear metallic, pale copper (rest of...) beer. Vegetable nose with cooked celery and lots of coriander, fake citrus, yeasty, spiced-sweet, dried apricot. Coriander onslaught on top of toast(ed malts). Orange and apricots on alcohol. Harsh, intimidating and in the end, pretty unrefined. Some strange (milk)chocolate touches upon swallowing. Fizzy carbonation. Quite slick but only medium bodied. Alcoholwarming. Another one to add to http://international.hoppress.com/2011/08/03/wine- one that had no doubt been better if they had kept brewing beer, instead of mocking Champagne. txs to the generosity of Chris Achouffe and the people @ Geers!

750 ml. bottle shared with Quevillon.The color is a hazy honey with a thick beige head and a lot of lace and very bubbly. The aroma is of malt sweet fruits. The taste is of malt sweet fruits like oranges,bananas and others, with some spices, yeast a good mix. The 10% alcohol is not that noticeable as to take away from all the nice ingredients. It leaves a very pleasing taste in the mouth.

bottle,2011 version, courtesy of Ralph at Volo. golden orange pour with tiny bubbles & active carbonation. sweet malts, sugary sweet, floral yeastiness, peaches & cream, orange zest, nougat. Great drinkability at 10%, nice beer

Light straw color with lots of nice bubbly carbonation. Aroma is slightly sweet lightly citrus, super subtle Belgian yeast notes. Banana orange peel. The carbonation helps bring a lot of really pleasant aromas to the forefront. Flavor is clean, mouth coating, mild, pear apple, citrus, light pepper. This is an amazing beer.
