Nov 19, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Pours a pale gold with a huge foamy white head. An enticing spicy yeast nose. Funky and very drinkable and a nice and dry finish. Simply complex - if that makes sense...

Nov 17, 2009 330 ml bottle at Gallows Bird, Espoo. Pours hazy yellowish orange with a thick white head that vanishes quite soon. Has a flowery aroma with notes of sour fruits. Flavour is astonishingly hoppy for a Belgian ale with notes of grapefruit, lemon and many others. Dry, bitter aftertaste. A delightful ale.

Nov 14, 2009 "You might say this beer is Orval with everything turned up to 11, which is exactly what the brewers were seeking."
I actually couldn’t agree more with the description that is given. This is an absolutely gorgeous beer, both aroma, appearance, flavor and palate are impecable.

Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Best of the 4 way taste test with orval, affligem blond and zinnebir. Dark chocolate aroma’s some strawberries. Taste is bitter chocolate a beautiful marriage between hops and the traditional belgian ale taste. Well balanced carbonation leaves a real good impression.

Nov 4, 2009 Pours as yellow and headless as any shitty pale lager. Sweet light aroma. INteresting flavour, doesn’t start until mid palate. A bit sour mid palate, becoming citrus and finishing with a strong bitter hoppy flavour that lingers for a very long time. interesting, but not very impressive.

Nov 3, 2009 0,33 l bottle, bought in Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Nice hazy pale golden body with a lacing, foamy white head.Very floral-fruity hop in the aroma with some honey and spicy citrus, clove-coriander. Medium body that opens with caramel malt firstly but after comes the strong bitterness by floral hop, some fruity pine and citruses. Dry aftertaste. Yes, the beer has a big bitterness.
