Bottle. Gold blond coloured, average white head. Lots of carbonation. Hoppy and fruity aroma, full body, creamy texture. Sweet bitter finish with some alcoholic touches.

An unclear dark orange beer with a fine but fast disappearing head. The aroma is very sweet and slightly fruity. the flavor is sweet, sligthly metallic, and fruity with notes of oranges and other fruits. A really complex beer - especially for a triple. There is no hint of the alcohol content - but no bitterness either - but it still has a nice balance.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Amazingly rocky head which never really dies. Lots of malt and lots of sweetness. Actually this is cloyingly sweet which makes it a hard-to-drink beer in combination with the 9%. 240593

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange and with a dense off-white head. Aroma is classic yeasty with a mild spice tone. Solid level of carbonation. Flavour starts yeasty spiced and somewhat grassy hoppy before a mild sweetness joins. A nice caramel note lingerings with the spice notes into the finish providing a classic Belgian flavour in a smooth and uncomplicated way. Nice.
