Hazy golden towards green with a decent white head. Aroma has notes of lemon, peach and flowery hops. Abit too much alchohol in the flavor for the brew to bear which is a shame since the subtle notes of suger, fruity yeast and flower hops are really nice.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Myrup. Hazy golden with a rough, off-white head. sweetish fruity almost perfumy fruit aroma. Quite full-bodied with plenty of fruit, yeast and some diacetyl. Ends surprisingly bitter for a Belgian style beer. 100908

Cloudy yellow with a lasting white head. Belgian yeast and grassy hops in the aroma. Dry and yeast-fruity flavour with a touch of hops in the finish.

Small coarse white head. Hazy yellow body. Vinegary yeasty fruity aroma. Dry-sweet-acidic fruity taste with vinegary citric notes. Sharpish mouthfeel, slightly tart. The aftertaste is just the same taste fading out. Not a success. (0.1l taster draft at EBF ’08.)

Draught@EBF 2008. Cloudy, dark staw yellow. One-finger white head. Unripe banana, citrus and tropical fruits to the nose. A note of spice and medicine. Taste is acidic-fruity, well spiced with a good amount of bittering hops. Quite crisp mouthfeel considering the abv. A good one, a bit out of balance though.

Draught at EBF 2008. Cloudy golden, medium white head. Fruity aroma with apricots and oranges, along with spicy notes. Medium bodied and smooth. Well balanced, almost a bit too sweet but with a bitter ending.

Hazy amber with medium white head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet flavour with caramel, hops and alchol notes. Ends bitter.

Bottle, 8.9%. Good spicy aroma, good fruity aroma. The flavour is sweet and fruity, some spiciness, Perhaps not balanced, and not light, but good and refreshing.
