33cl bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a white midsized head.Yeasty orangey aroma with bread and coriander notes and alcohol, flavour is like beery orange-mango juice, though dry rather than sweet, and with a dry bitter finish. Only in the finish does the strength become apparent. Weird!

(draught) pours a hazy yellow-orange colour with a creamy white head. shy aroma of wheat, peaches, powdered sugar and herbal hops. flavour is the same, very wheaty and sweet, with a light alcoholic finish. strong-bodied with lively carbonation.

2 bottles, 1 bb feb. ’08 (last one of Jerohen’s gifts, thanks a lot for all of them), 1 bb sep ’10. hazy orange with lots of yeast (even more in the aged one, obviously). Overall; a pretty decent beer (see other descriptions). Unfortunately for me, i sense a hint of earwax that is disturbing me throughout the drinking of this beer. As aroma and flavor of the aged one has matured it also has more of the earwax-hint. If you like it it’s definitely worth aging, but i prefer an aged ’la wambrechies’ anytime.

(Draught) clear rich gold with creamy/frothy off-white head. Nose of Belgian yeast, floral, spicy, coriander, bready. Taste is decent amount of alcohol, spicy, grapefruit, bread, very sweet, and a tiny bit floral, almost cloyingly sweet finish. Light body.

This is a huge dense triple. Very bready and boozy. Acquired taste that my partner in crime isnt a fan of.

Pours cloudy amber with a large off-white head, floaties. Aroma is sweet malt, fruity and yeast. Flavour is caramel, high alcohol, fruity. Bitter aftertaste.

bottle, pours a murky yellow brown with a tall white head. Sweet sugary nose with a light spice lingering in the background. Malty body that gives a sourness like orange or lemon zest and fades into a bitter hop and spice finish. Very funky.

Hazy light amber color with a slight off white head. The taste is slight fruity with som spicy and yeasty notes. Has a light alcohol sharpness.

Bottle. Pours murky orange with a thin white head. Aroma is kind of funky. Cane sugar, caramel, honey, with a slighy fruity background. Tastes like a sour, stale apple juice, funky cigarette and plastic aftertaste. Wow, I’m really shocked at the taste. Some apples, sweetness, but the plastic is coming thru big time. Mouthfeel is carbonated and medium body. I have yet to have a beer from this brewer that I enjoy. I don’t know if I have had some old bottles or I just don’t get what they are doing.

This beer has more faults than it should but over all the beer is a pleasant drinkable one. The taste and aroma has a paper mache feel to it. the good parts are deep rich fruits and dark malts.
