3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
330 ml bottle, poured into my tulip glass. ABV 8%
Pale yellow to orange colour, slighty hazy. Huge white head on top, soapy and thick, with very good retention and heavy lacing on the glass.
Aroma is fruity, with the typical belgian yeast. Some sugar too and quite hoppy.
It brings me to mind the Gouden Carolus Tripel only less hoppy aroma much more fruity now.
Nice taste, fruity and sweet at first, turns quickly to bitterness. Medium duration. Quite hoppy, not so much flavour wise but palate wise, as it causes a numb feeling. An airy feeling on the mouthfeel, with a medium body and good carbonation.
Overall another great beer from Het Anker.

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a big head with a cloudy dirty straw colored body.
The aroma is like a candied lemon.
The flavor hits from the beginning with a sharp bitterness the relents to a mild sweetness in the latter part of the profile. The finish is fairly short mild bitterness.
The texture is a bit on the fizzy side with a medium body.
The fizziness with the strong bitter beginning make this an aggressive ale. Enjoyable but be ready for it.
