In bottle at the 2012 NWAF, Manchester. Pours a yellow colour with a decent white head. Aroma of lemon, white pepper, yeast and caramel. Similar flavours and nicely bitter with citrus zest also. Moderate carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Delicious!

Cloudy orange colour with a white head. Yeasty aroma with lemon, orange and a slight bitterness. Yeasty fruity flavour with a nice bitterness. Very similar to Brussels Calling but less hoppy. Nice.

A nice standard Belgian beer. Nothing to get excited about but a good session beer. Big drawback is the aroma. not much going on there. Light fruit (white grape, peach) but very faint. Pour was cloudy orange with tons of sediment 9which always gets a 4 in appearance for me!) Taste was nice and subdued. Light fruits for the most part with just a hint of Belgian yeast bite. not very full flavored, but this is a session beer at 5.5%. Decent carbonation. Ok beer.

Golden ale with a lot of haze. Aroma is fruity and slightly hoppy - very inviting. Something wrong in the flavour - a kind of phenloic detergent taste - not good. Down the drain I’m afraid.

Hazy dark yellow with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity and yeasty. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 081211
