Hazy bronze. Yeasty, phenolic nose. Hint of pears. Yeasty, dry finish. Malt is vague and hopping moderate.

Hazy dark orange color. Candyish nose with some yeast influence and a slight citrusyness. The body is very sweet with a backbone of yeast. Finishes with a nice hoppiness.

Pours a cloudy, pale amber color with a medium sized, white head that lingers. The aroma is wonderfully fruity, with yeast, apples, bananas, and a bit of alcohol detected. Full bodied with medium carbonation, the flavor is fruity with yeasts and malts. The finish is slightly sweet, with touches of apples, pears, and bananas and a moderate bitterness from the hops. Fanatstic!

Blond beer with a medium creamy head. Slightly sour, yeasty fruity aroma with a wee bit of alcohol. Sweet start with a medium bitter body and a bit harsher finish.

Slightly hazy, golden yellow color, nice lasting head. Spicy aroma, bit malty, oak. Fruity and malty taste, bit sour and sweet, complex. Bit like a gueuze. Bit sour palate. Odd brew.

Hazy amber gold under a large, medium lasting, bright white, sporadic lacing head. Strong caramel, wild honey, fruity nectar, and fainter corn syrup aroma. Sticky-oily looking but crisp, lowly carbonated, clean textured body and palate. Big honey sweet and lighter bitter flavoured start. Medium bitter middle and soft dry bitter finish. An interesting variation of honey and fruity nectar flavour but otherwise just another average Belgian.
