Sampled at Delirium in Brussels on a loud, smoky and raucous friday night in September. The pour from the bottle was a cloudy yellow with a whitish head. Citrus aromas. Orange, bitter hops, and malt. Medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel. Long complex finish. Great beer.

330ml bottle (Punavuoren Ahven, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks) - left by drunk chatty bloke - thanks!
Rich orange, slow gusher. Peach/melon aroma. Slightly smoky, or burnt plastic. Some wet sheep. Pleasant peppery body. Some blue cheese. Pretty weird.

total gusher: What was left poured a hazy deep orange colour with a medium off white head. Fruity smelling, slightly pear like alc. Caramel sweetness in the malt underneath. Flavour is grassy-floral hop bitterness. Dried apricot fruitiness with a biscuity-caramel maltiness. I would have loved to get a full glass of this!

Wonderful caramely malt aromas, brown sugar, orange peel, some dried fruit. Deep golden color with frothy abundant head. Flavors are haylike and sweetish. Floral notes, dried fruit, light bitter roasty finish and duration. Palate is mild but good.

Bottle: Pour was dark golden with a light tan head. Aroma was sweet, floral, and had a bit of herb/vegetable aroma. Flavor was a bit more subdued from the vegies with sweet malt, mucho fruit and citrus characters, and yeasty notes. Another fine yet complex brew from Chris at De Dolle.

From PP CBad Bottle Shop. Pours an opaque dirty orange hue with huge white foam that bursts out of the bottle. Nose is light fruits, citrus, hay, spices, and light hops. Taste is lemon juice, hay/grassy hops, a touch of raisins and spices/herbs in the middle, finishes astringent with subtle alcohol warming. Watery texture with high carbonation. A bit of a letdown, lack of balance with the fruits and hops mostly, strange acidic and drying texture, mostly flat in terms of enduring flavors.
