Clear, sparkling golden yellow with a marshmallowy-white head. Aromas typical to Belgian ales: astringent and lemony but without the suggestion of basement that sometimes predominates. Gosh that’s tart at first! Then it sweetens with lush orange flavours and stays golden and inviting. Revisiting the flavour in the next mouthful, you get those same citrus characters and it somehow becomes juicier. The finish brings a little bitterness on the back of the tongue. What a little sweety. It’s like your favourite niece.

Petite bouteille de 25cl. de la cuvée 7 achetée en Belgique par le bof. Bière commerciale dorée avec une mousse blanche compacte. Les grains sucrés se font sentir, on dirait du malt pils, tout comme des fruits rouges. La bouche est ronde, piquante, commerciale et sucrée en fin de bouche.
