Bottled. Hazy pale nutbrown colour, mediumsized creamy/foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet grass, spices and some wheat. A lot of caramel malts too. Flavour is yeast, spices, fruity hops and caramel malts. Once it gets warmer a lot of fudgeish hints along with pepperyness. Really nice thing.

12oz bottle. Pours clear golden with a huge white head. Great aroma of candy, wheat, raisins, fruit, white chocolate, sweet and appetizing. Taste is not quite as good as the smell. Has the familiar Belgian strong taste that I get from some other golden Belgians like Piraat. Tastes kind of meaty, tart, metallic, and bitter. A little bit of alcohol. Pretty good.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a big rocky white head. Noticable sediment got into my glass. Standard Belgian sharpness. Sweetness. Alcohol, a strong cinnamon spice element. Balances sweet with alcohol and spice well. Rather thin body for the level of aroma, alcohol and flavor. Though the carbonation is subdued to low. Sweet alcoholic taste and a unidimensional malt, but the alcohol cuts it well. Apple cider hints. Cinnamon spice. A little diacetyl. Alcoholic finish, lingering tart aftertaste with esters? Not bad, but not great, and over priced.
