Amber color with defintely bread aroma. Taste is a bit sweet similar to most other Belgium beers I’ve had. Flavor is primarily malt/wheat then a bit of yeast. Didn’t really taste any of the 8.5% ABV. Pleasant finish. Very carbonated and a little thin overall.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a molasses brown color with an almost fingernail-sized tan head that has decent staying power. Nose is malty syrup and yeast. Flavors include wheat, cola, caramel, green apple, bubblegum, smooth but astringent alcohol; slightly metallic aftertaste. Medium/full body and too high of carbonation for the body and flavor. Decent beer; I’m a much bigger fan of the Tremens.

33cl bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a rich dark reddish brown with a one finger tan head. Smells of malt bread, raisins, grapes. Alcohol comes through a bit in aroma and taste. Flavor is earthy and malty, ginger, caramel with rich malty finish. Medium-body.

2008 as stated on the cork, 8.5% abv per the label. Remarkable deal from the local grocer, methinks this was priced the same as the smaller Tremens bottles. Somewhat clear amber color with a medium sized tight tan head. Stings of thin lacing make their way around and down the glass. Sweet bread aroma along with some earthy mustiness. On the thinner side for this style, sweet to the taste buds and finishes with a crisp emptiness. Very mild alcohol presence. Flavor is underdeveloped at first, but much more complexity becomes noticed as this beer is given time to open up. An airy fruitiness packing tastes of raisins, strawberries, figs and banana. Belgian yeast provides a good earthiness to counter the sweetness. Pleasant floral quality along with an underlying bitterness. It’s a nice sipper, but a touch too thin and underwhelming to really stand out.

33cl bottle from Belgianshop.com. It poured a dark brown colour with a medium head. The aroma is fruity roasted malts. It is a dry and bitter flavour that tastes of bananas, malts and alcohol. It has a lingering aftertaste.

(Belgium) Pours a nice dark brown color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma is of dry fruits and dark malts. And the taste is spritzy with a malty, plum, citrus flavor. The finish is dry and you can taste a hint of the alcohol. Very enjoyable and recommended Also, the bottle is pretty damn cool too.

Amazing beer and I love the brewery. Well rounded brew with hints of flowers and sweet fruits.
