Bravo het hanker, encore une bière exceptionnelle. Orangée et trouble, léger reflets cuivrés.
Arômes de cassonnade et sucre d’orge, on sent l’alcool aussi! Fruits confit, fruit de la passion et une touche de lys également.
Corps rond et agréable, rempli le palais à souhait. Finale sèche mais présence de résidu de sucre qui se prolonge en arrière-goût.

750 ml bottle, at home, poured into a tulip. ABV 10% and I’ll drink the whole bottle alone. Year 2013
Intense golden yellow colour on the body, with average activity in it. Three fingers tall head, colour is white to off-white. Average retention, light lacing on the glass.
Aroma is fruity, with the typical belgian yeast smell along. Alcohol is obvious on the aroma.
Very nice taste, very fruity, with malts, sweet at first, turns quickly to mildly bitter. The high ABV is obvious on the taste too. A little bit of bubblegum at the end.
Medium thickness on the body, carbonation slighty above average.
Overall, pretty good belgian ale and it only cost me 5euros, I have to return soon to my local beer shop and grab anothe pair of those for the cellar. Very tasty
