33 cL bottle. Pours very lively with the classic and rediculous huge white De Dolles head. The beer is orange and almost clear. Aroma is fresh grapefruity hoppy. Flavour is sharp yeasty mixing in with a solid caramel malt sweetness and a decent bitterness in the finish. Straight forward yet powerful.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Holy head, Batman! This beer pours a cloudy golden colour with an INSANE head. It was resting for quite some time but had traveled a lot prior to opening it. When I uncapped it I had a rising flow of foam that spilled onto the floor and refused to pour nicely for the next 15 minutes. Wow. Aroma is spicy and full of character. Taste is very, very spicy - strong and malty and creamy with lots of peppery hops in the warming finish with a light alcohol note. Body is creamy and chewy, great carbonation, what a treat!!! Many thanks to Boutip for the trade!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear pale color with a huge white head that lasted with good lacing. Complex fruity citrus and sweet spice aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Full complex sweet flavor with solid fruity sweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex soft brew.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice Belgian strong. Pour was great...medium light gold with a head that went a bit overboard. Literally..it poured over the side. The aroma was decent...fruit and spices with a big yeast presence. Taste was very complex...not extremely sweet like this style tends to be. Starts off a little sour with fruits and spices in the front. Nice and fizzy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is dry as a bell and a little bitter. The sweetness comes in and out but doesn’t overpower. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
definite some strong character in this beer. Mild fruity flavors, sweet malts and low hops make for a fine Belgian beer.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The aroma is like paint with plastic, yeast, sour fruit, and spices. The appearance is hazy gold orange with a HUGE head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin but smooth. Overall a bust.
