Sweet and impeccable bouquet reminds me of pineapple ham fresh from the oven. Hazy light-amber body with thin bubbly white head that leaves intricate lacing pattern on trappist glass. The flavor is really something else... Savoured slowly, I was able to discern many layers in this beer, none of which overpowers the other: Hint of cloves and nutmeg at first then yield to creamy barley malts, yeast and hops only to finish off on an even, bitter tone. The mouthfeel is velvety smooth yet vibrant as you swallow it down. So far this is the beer that all others have to own up to. Haven’t tried the blue and red yet. I’m expecting those to be better still.

Sep 6, 2008 Has the perfect yeast smell! It is a solid example of the style and well made. Tried and true, certainly a great beer but nothing amazing. The orange-y-ness is very pleasant. (Ingredients: wheat starch and hop extract???? WTF???) Nothing that amazing.

Sep 5, 2008 Cloudy golden pour with a billowing cream colored head. Small brown floaties. A nice yeasty nose and a heavy bready spiciness. Sharp on the side of the tongue. Dry and creamy with a lasting hop finish. I’m a fan of the more subdued spiciness in this one.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange from the bomber with a soapy off-white head. Mild yeast on the nose with caramel, apple, and faint cream in the flavor. Rich lacing with heavy sediment, yet unexectedly watered-down for my taste.

Sep 2, 2008 Orange-amber hazy body with a beautiful foamy head. Nice appearance! Like the aroma...After a few seconds the beer opens its own perfume. Delicious spicey-floral hop, freaky vine-must and fruity vanilla aromas. Complex texture with a good balanced hop in the flavor, nice spices like clove, cinnamon and coriander, rich body of top fermentation and various kinds of malts. Well hidden alcohol, strong hop, dry finish, beautiful character!

Aug 31, 2008 33cl bottle. Hazy orange color with off-white head. Distinctive spicy aroma, with cinnamon and banana. Flowery. Taste was fruity, raisin. A distinctive, memorable dessert beer, though not one I’d want to have in quantity.
