from Mondial de la Bière, Strasbourg - fully cloudy orange in colour and very foamy; a long lasting creamy beige foam with a nice lacework; yeasty nose with notes of oranges and honey; velvety palate and fairly acidic; long aftertaste of oranges, marzipan and yeast

Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexandria tap ($6): Pours an amberish colour with a white head. Aroma is vaguely of Belgian yeast, with some fruitiness. There is slight fruitiness, slight bitterness, and plenty of wateriness in this beer. All in all, this beer was too light. I have had Belgian ales that pull off the low alcohol content well, but this is not one of those beers. Still, it is perfectly acceptable.

Pours a clear lt amber with a medium lt tan head. Aroma is light and fruity...yeasty. flavor is wheaty and yeasty with a light fruitiness...bitter towards the end. Mouthfeel is medium and lively with a wheaty/bitter dry finish.

Pours gold with a very large white head which stuck around for a little. Lots of carbonation on this bottle. Aroma is yeast, citrus and earthy. Taste was sweet with hints of bitterness. Very light bodied.

Bottle thanks to jcwattsrugger: Poured a thick cloudy copper orange with a huge off white foam head. Aroma is a sweet fruit with sticky caramel, hangs to the nose. Taste is crisp with cloves, sweet burnt malt, and refreshing fruit.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2011 Pours hazy light orange with enormous beaded white head. Aroma is earthy with notes of funky belgian yeast. Taste is a whirlwind of off-putting nastiness. This just tastes foul. Don’t waste your time.

Pours a clear orange with a huge off-white head. Aroma of bread, lemon and light sweetness. Flavor of grass and some sweet tartness. Decent light beer.

12oz bottle. Golden color, white foam. Long lasting head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, lemons, and bread dough. Tastes of tart, some sweet malt, and bread. Very light and thin bodied. It really is light enough to drink at 9am to finish watching the sun rise over the ocean at the shore.

bottle. cloudy glowing tangerine color with a large, foamy white head. refreshing, bright aroma of tangerine, white grape, and some sugary marshmallow. palate is light and very carbonated. flavors are citrusy and tart. missing something.

Light amber pour, light frothy head. Some sweetness, corriander on the nose. Taste was a bit light, but not off-putting. A very drinkable beer, perfect session beer.
