3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cL bottle from ABS Drinks in Winksele, poured into a Westmalle glass. Cloudy blond with fizz and a reasonable head. Floral hop aroma, attractive. Bitter and dry, but good and hoppy. Really does taste.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Gift bottle from friend - he bought from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a bright white puffy head that lingers. Lacing is scant but ornate. Aroma stinks (in a great way) of yeasty hoppy goodness. A touch of the funk, if you will.
Clear bubbly and golden - almost seems to give off light it is so bright.
The taste is not as bitter as I expected. Nothing to punch me in the mouth anyway. Definitely get that hop pop, but the grassy and citrus flavors really don’t overpower this lovely drinkable ale.
It’s complex enough to be appreciated by beer lovers, but approachable enough to be an introductory beer for your new-to-real-beer friends and relatives. The finish is crispier than most goldens, but not so much as to make you make clicking sounds with your mouth after drinking.
I’d buy this beer every time I see it and I’d drink it that day - not sure it’ll age well at all.

Pours pale with a nicely lacing white head. Orval like aroma with lots of fresh herbal and spicy hops. Flavor also has a refreshingly Orval brett character with some faint maltiness and lots of hops. Nice bitter finish.

Sampled at the Bayou’s Wild and Sour ale tasting. Reminds me of Orval. There where spicy and floral, Saaz like, hop characteristics. A noce toasty, bready malt character. All covered with a nice Brettanomyces funk.

Fruity and slightly spicy hops aroma with yeast and citrus aromas. The taste is the same, slightly fruity with a fresh hops and yeast bitterness that lingers for quite a while. The beer is tasty and easy to drink!

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2012 La Tana (tap). Dorata, lievemente torbida, non bellissima a vedersi, schiuma bianco sporca, molto persistente. Una belgian ale atipica, molto più luppolata del normale. Quando è in forma è una birra davvero interessante. Purtroppo l’ultima volta che l’ho assaggiata era leggermente brettata al naso (XX Bretta?) e in bocca si sentiva una leggera puntina acida. Non freschissima e non in perfette condizioni. Corpo medio, buona carbonazione. Da riprovare.
