Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
Four generations of the Moortgat family have brought together Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops, and a unique yeast strain to create this intense, aromatic and beguiling ale. This Belgian favorite is best enjoyed chilled (40 - 50 F) with discerning friends or good-looking strangers.

clean finish - no after taste. very frothy head - huge. tastes like hard water brew, good pilsner taste. Stone Dry. Smells like a new pair of Adidas.

Lovely pale colour followed by a slightly citrusy smooth flavour. Very more-ish.

Very pleasantly surprised! Enigmatic beer actually. Hoppy and wheaty with a touch of citrus like Hoegaarden. Taste is smooth and silky with that classic Belgian wheat beer taste. I feel like it’s more of a Saison like Ommegang Hennepin than a Belgian Strong Ale but hey, I like it so I’m not gonna complain. Great beer!

Full malty aroma with notes of peach. Pours with a rich head and a clear golden color. Sweet & fruity in flavor, backed up by a pleasant taste of hops. I had high expectations for this beer and while it is a very solid ale, I wasn’t blown away by it.

From bottle. Poured clear dark yellow with large frothy white head. Aromas of citrus and slight yeast. Tastes very complex with hops starting off and giving way to a malty finish. No hint of alcohol.
