Coppery-gold colour, white head that thins and disperses. Fruity, estery aromas with underlaying coppery malt. Flavours veer toward berryfruit and malt. The finish is a bit short. Fresh and refreshing, but not terribly much else.

On tap in a bar at Antwerpen. Amber colour with tan head that quickly diminishes. Aroma is to caramel, spicy, yeast, fruit. Flavour is also fruity, with hints of yeast, caramel and with a final moderate bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 Bottle in Utrecht, Holland - Golden colour with a white head. Modest sweet aroma. Moderate sweet flavour with fruity notes. Light caramel

Draft. Amber color, medium off white head. Aroma of caramel, taste is similar. Smooth and easy to drink, but unexciting.

Bottle. Caramel and cherry nose, a bit of earth. pretty enough amber orange color, low head. Sweet caramel and fruit flavor, low hops. Drinkable but unexciting. Much better fresher on tap, but still needs more hops.

Bottle at fábulas, lisbon, portugal. Easy aroma, taste and palate, but overall interesting ale.

Bottle 33cl. A clear red-golden colour with a small, beige head. An aroma of malt and fruit. The taste is light sweet and light bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a light bitter finish.

I have been drinking this beer all my live. This is much better on tap than in bottle. This is a special Belge, a kind of amber (Belgian Pale Ale), but from high fermentation. It’s very smouth drinking, midium body, easy to drink and very refreshing. There is a touch of bitter/sourness to it, witch is very nice when you drink this in a warm climate
