Draft at Crunchy's. pale gold with a light head. Banana, slight clove and bread aromas. Slightly sour and a bit bitter at the end.

2009 vintage bottle shared, so very different aspects than fresh. Pours cloudy golden brown with a massive white head. Aroma certainly shows the age, musty cellar, sweet caramel, sweet malt, some over ripe fruit. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter. Lightly full bodied with soft carbonation. Really didn’t expect this to age that well, but it’s really quite good.

33cl bottle at trapistenhuis in Ghent. Hazy orange body with large white head. Fruity aroma and yeast. Taste of malts. Medium carbonation. **

Appetence cloudy Holden with a Lacey white head. Aroma is a strong fruity citrus Taste starts bitter then has strong citrus taste that lingers long on the palate

From a 33 cl bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy gold with a thck massive off white head. Lemon curd and yeast in the nose. Rich flavor with lots of carbonation.

Botte, 220 ml, at home, poured into a tulip glass. ABV 8% Deep copper orange colour on the body, a bit hazy. Huge head on top, three fingers tall at least, snow white and creamy. Excellent retention.Little to no lacing. Fantastic aroma, fruity, with lots of citrus notes, very refreshing, bubblegum-like hints as well. Great taste too, very bitter from the very start,with lots of hops, Notes of yeast, lemon zest, fruits. Medium thikness on the body with an "airy" feeling as you drink it, good carbonation, a bit above average, very dry on the palate. Overall a really great beer.

Ramata e trasparente coperta di schiuma invitante, naso travolgente di spezie, agrumi e miele. In bocca dolce e caramellata con un finale pulito ed erbaceo ed amaro di luppolo. Va giù bene grazie alle abbondanti ma non esagerate bollicine!

33cl bottle at home. Tasted blind. Appearance: light clouded blonde beer, huge stable white head. Nose: fruity, yeast, bitter, very fresh. Taste: spices, bitter, rather dry, little acidity, very good!

Ferme dikbellige kraag, wat rommelig aandoet, op troebel oranje. Aroma met sinaasappel en peer overgoten met een laagje "zomerse regenbui na lange droogte". Smaak is als aangekondigd bitter op alle facetten, maar ook dat gronderige van geroosterde noten komt naar boven, en wat zoet in de verre verte. Behoorlijk wat koolzuur aanwezig. Wellicht goed bij een pittige maaltijd, valt wat zwaarder zonder.

Draft. Bright hoppy nose, belgian yeast int he flavor, spices, herbs, light malt.
