Draught @ Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen, BE. Unclear medium yellow orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, spicy, moderate hoppy, light citrus, light coriander. Flavor is moderate sweet, acidic and light to moderate bitter with a long duration, and a dry finsh. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice *<;o)) (151207)

A hazy orange beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of coriander. The flavor is sweet malty. This beer is boring compared to loads of others - I think I have to resample one day.

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, golden with a dense, white head. Extreme aroma of yeast and diacetyl. Fairly full-bodied with sweetish malt, a distinct yeastiness, diacetyl and fruit. Way too much diacetyl. The finish is strongly alcoholic. This was just way too Belgian - in the not so hot sense. 030407

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slight off-white and lasting head. Spiced yeasty aroma, very classic belgian. The flavour is soft caramel blending into a more strong spice flavour. Some alcohol presence in the finish together with a bitterness. Keynote here is the balance, the beer as such holds nothing different from many other Belgians. The balance however is perfect, not to strong and not too weak eather but very smooth - nice.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small foamy head. Fruit (peaches), alcohol and weak barnyard in aroma. Also some hoppy notes, Flavour is yeast, fruits with hints of hops. Also some grassy/hayish notes.

UPDATED: NOV 24, 2003 Sampling of the 1998 version in 2002: Pale golden, very rich head, very lively. Blue cheese and citrus in the nose. Lively, light mouthfeel. Dry, funky and fruity. Dangerously drinkable with nice late bitterness.

Draft at Ølbaren. Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized lasting white head. Fruity aroma with notes of spices. Fruity flavour with notes of spices and yeast. Dry yeasty finish.

Draught. Sour wheat aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Wheaty, yeasty flavour.

Cloudy orange-golden color; medium sized creamy head. The aroma is difficult to decribe, it has some malt and spices and Belgian yeast, but also some vegetables. The mouthfeel is weaker than expected, and a bit dry; the combination of malt and spices produces again some trait of vegetables. It has enough bitterness; in the final the alcohol is quite evident. Possibly it was stored in some hot places for some time.

Spicy aroma (cloves, coriander), a bit fruity (mango). Good Belgian body, dry malt, spices, lemon peel, upcoming strong bitterness. Very different, but good anyway.

Gold color, creamy head; nice perlage. Aroma of cellar, wood, cork, old hop flowers. Very good Strong Belgial Ale, malty, that has lost some sweetness due to the long aging; strong final bitterness.
