2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bevuta all’O Connor Pub di Genova. Color giallo lucente e trasparente, schiuma corposa bianca e persistente; fino a qui tutto bene. Non so se la bottiglia era guasta, ci ho sentito per tutto il tempo un odoraccio di dado knorr non giustificato dalla nomea di questa birra. Il sapore era solamente amaro. La riberrò

330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, and HaandBryggeriet who imports it to Norway. Deep golden colour, big to moderate head. Distinct hoppy aroma with floral notes. ABV is 8%. Alcohol is well hidden. The flavour has the characteristic sharp bitterness of Nugget hops from start to finish. After a few beers of the "well rounded" and "fruity and acidic" kind, this was just what I needed. More "American" than Belgian, perhaps.

Had from bottle. Gushes out when opened, immediately pour into glass which foams up like none other. Pours with a yellow/orange haze once the bubbles finally die down. Aroma is spicy with lots of fruits - orange, lemons, and hops. Yeasty undertones deliver a bready light aroma under the citrus. Taste is similar, very citrus, bready, and spicy. Finishes a bit dry, but the aftertaste is refreshing and lingers nicely. A wonderful strong blond that hides the 8% very well.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours to Trappist glass with dark yellow/light brown color with very thick beige head. These De Dolle beers have heads that last forever. Aroma very nice with dark fruits, spices, a little acidic. Taste nice bland of fruits, a little banana and citrus, malts, yeast. Finish is hoppy and a little bitter which I didn’t car for much. Medium palate.
Good tasty beer with a little hoppier finish than I care for but will appeal to many. Overall I liked it.

Bottle split with pat and tony. Pour is a slighty hazy orange with some head. Aroma is so awesome - notes of sweet malts, sugary candy, and some fruit. Flavor is a bit tame, but with great flavors of sweet Belgian candy, malt, banana and apple.
