Pours a cloudy orange with a big but fading white head and an aroma of malts and oranges. The taste is like soysauce with a sticky mouthfeel

Bottle. Poured a dark gold with a huge foamy head. Took several minutes to pour this one. Aroma of oranges, apples and bananas. Flavor was sweet with a spicy finish.

Bottled. Dark golden color with overdeveloped head and plenty of carbonation. Refreshing aroma of pear, bubblegum, banana, orange peel and clove. Sweet flavors of lemon and orange are well-played with a dry-hopped spiciness. A bit hot on the finish, and comes off almost too cloying. However, biscuit tones from Belgian yeast round it out overall. Seems like this could be really good with a few years of age.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with lots of carbonation and huge whitish icecream like head. The aroma is peppery yeast with quite a few fruity tones- lemon, banana, white grape, pear- and a little bit of a sweet pastry maltiness. The flavor is quite spicy. White pepper, lemon zest, coriander, and cardamom are the dominant flavors. There’s a woody alcohol note through the middle, over a honeyish malt. The finish is dry and yeasty, and even just a touch sour. The aftertaste has a long, fairly intense grassy hop burst. Strange, but tasty.

330ml Bottle: Sweet aroma of malts, caramel, bread, yeast, honey, light fruits, spices, slight funky cheese, rotting peaches, slight apples, and hops. Poured copper/amber in color with a huge, fluffy, wispy, white head that diminished slowly. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, caramel, grass, hops, resin, honey, yeast, biscuit, bread, slight pepper, slight apple, and a hint of maple syrup. Medium body. Smooth, syrupy, tingly texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, hoppy, earthy, finish dries out over time.

Bottle, pours golden amber whith huge lasting head with excellent lacing. Fresh spicy aroma. Flavor is lightly yeasty with some spiciness and fruits. Long lasting and dry finnish that makes you want another sip. No sign of 8% abv except for the warmth in the finnish. A great beer.
