Bottle. Hazy/cloudy orange color, white head. Aroma from citrus, wheat and spices, reminds me of a witbier. Spicy flavor, fruits, grass, rather bitter after a while. Dry hoppy finish.

Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy orange with a medium white head. Fruity, earthy, and yeasty aroma. Moussy mouthfeel. Quite dry. Good but not very interesting.

Bottle. Pours a deep golden colour with a white head. The aroma has notes of herbs, yeast, spices and orange with some soap on top. The flavour has some sweetness and has notes of yeast, bitter herbs, orange peel and spices. You do feel the alcohol. I’m not that impressed.

Bottle BB 201igh carbonation. Orange-amber color with creamy white head. Fruity, phenolic aroma of pears, peach, orange, wheat, cloves and some vegetables like red beets or similar. Soft creamy palate. Medium to light body. Some spices and tropical fruits. Somewhat phenolic and hop bitter aftertaste, but not astringent or bitter. Smooth and clean. Really nice belgian ale but maybe a bit sweet.
