bottle. pours cloudy dark gold with huge billowing white head. nose is very citrusy, with yeasty spiceness with a caramel cookie in the background. flavor is initially very citrusy but that develops into a lively and refreshing toasted biscuit, cookie, and pear. mouth feel is light but not watery. carbonation is just right and lively. an intersting summer beer!

Cloudy orange, some floaties, pillow white head with nice lacing. Nose is light malt, funk, fruity hairspray, more fruits, scented candles (these are positive descriptives) Flavor is bitter rind, sweet fruity pils malt, some fuink, lemon, bread, light astringency in an earthy finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Hazy golden beer with a huge off-white head that leaves nice lacework. Herbal and perfumy hop aroma. Fruity and grassy bitterness on a sweet base. Shortish finish. Ended up a bit disappointing- maybe the bottle was off?

Botttle at the De Dolle brewery, Esen, Belgium, 24-06-07. This is a really nice summer beer pouring a hazy dark golden colour. I was told by Kris the brewer that it shared many of the characteristics of the Arabier without the intense dry hopping metered out to its stablemate, still it was very good, little fruity and with a less harsh bitterness.

Super hazy orange colour - you can’t even see through it. There is a bit of a white creamy head on top. Light aroma of fruit. The flavour is very interesting and complex, yet subtle. Fruit juice flavour, some peach, citrus, pineapple, spice, a bit of flowery hints and a bitter finish.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2007 33 cL bottle (labelled as Kavijaks). Pours hazy orange with a finger thick white creamy/crispy head. Aroma is light fruity, a slight leather note. Heavy carbonation. Flavour is sweet, flowery hops, there is a mild smoke note appearing before going into a long lasting bitterfinish. The smoke is blending in with a peach fruit note. I don’t like the blend :( but appreciate that this is wellbrewed.
