Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Plovmand. Pours a cloudy golden with a huge and frothy shaving foam style white head. Sweet fruit in the nose combined with Belgian yeast and a dry, pleasant hoppiness. Rich body, almost cloyingly sweet, very fruity, quite yeasty with some pleasant aroma hops. However in spite of some late bitterness the hops never manage to balance all the sugars. Boozy finish. 200312

Hazy golden color, with generous creamy head. The aroma is delicate and spicy, with very light fruits. The malt profile is very spicy, blending to perfection a light residual sweetness, yeast spiciness and light fruitiness; the bitterness seems strong, but ; there is also a light alcohol perception.
Elegant, harmonious, satisfactory; excellent, true Belgian; a masterpiece of brewing skills.

Aroma of mustiness, banana, orange peel, perfume, flora, and other herbal qualities. Flavor of herbal tea, orange peel, green peppercorn, and floral hops with a soft mouthfeel and bitter finish. Tasty!

Fairly cloudy with a thin head. Very floral aroma with good yeasty spice depth. Some nice orangey notes from the hops. Very sweet, spicy character. Floral with a hint of bubblegum. Tasty.
