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.

Very nice fruity taste. Strong alcohol % but you would never know if you didnt look at the label.

Bottle] Pours golden with a big white head. Aroma is fairly sweet with a lot of yeast, light floral hops and a fair amount of malt. Taste is a little sweet at first, then a lot of yeast--almost bready, with some alcohol. Good mouthfeel with a pretty long finish. One of the first beers that I ever had, and one that I always find to be enjoyable

330 ml. bottle. Pours a nice thick, creamy long duration head, with loads of lacing, over a slightly cloudy pale yellow body....mild slightly spicy belgian yeast nose, with some mild citrus tones....tastes of mild citrus, with lots of carbonation up front, finishing with a sharp and lasting hop bitterness. Very nice mouth feel. Since Moortgat created the style of a Golden Belgian Strong Ale, it is the standard.

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!
