Fully hazy straw-orange beer with a small whitish head. Fruity & spicey nose, horseradish, sunflower seeds, and honey, and some freshly cut broadleaved parsley. Sweet spicey taste, with speculoos streak, and with orange sucade, maybe some cardemom. Tastes a wee bit young. Not very full bodied, some grist and green malt slickness; creamy-yeasty (end of bottle). Interesting but not overwhelming; what saddens me the most is that here, finally, a Belgian brewer uses NZL hops, and there’s nothing to demarc that;

Bottle. Hazy deep golden orange colour and a big offwhite head. Aroma is yeasty and hoppywith pleasant notes of vegetables and spices. Fruity flavours with orange and hints of spices, including coriander. Overall on the sweet side. Well-carbonated. Good and safe from De Proef.
