greenclansman (129) - Nicosia, CYPRUS - NOV 14, 2011
Amazing deep thick copper color with a beautiful foam for head. Aromas of citrus fruits and bread. Smells like Belgium so well. The taste as well reminds you what Belgium can produce. Bread, citrus, with a dry hoppy after finish and when some time passes it gives a sweet aftertaste. Very nice beer!!!

Hermod (1480) - Vantaa, FINLAND - NOV 14, 2011
33cl bottle. Poured slightly hazy golden with an everlasting white head, huge carbonation. Aroma is slightly tart at first, then more flowery notes along with some yeasty notes and some fruit. Flavor is hops, yeast, citrus fruits. Very mouthdrying, bitter finish. Excellent.

330 ml bottle. From bierkompass.de.
Hazy golden colour with huuuuuge frothy white head. Mild Belgian yeast, spices, mild bitterish hops and some fruitiness in aroma. Belgian yeast, bitter hops, spices and mild smoke in very tasty flavour. Bitter aftertaste.

MrHangover (342) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - NOV 12, 2011
Bottle. Difficult to pour this one, loads of carbonation forming a huge, fluffy head. Aroma of grapefruit, hops and some rich malts. Orange colour. Bitter hoppy taste. Grapefruit really returns in the taste. Bitterness lingers of during the tasting, making it really enjoyable drinking.
