Golden orange, slightly hazy color, elegant little carbonation. Aroma is mostly toffee. Flavor is interesting. Tastes a bit green. Dry flavor. A pleasure like most Belgian ales.

An unclear dark orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel as well as hints of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, while the mouthfeel is flat.

Orange colour with a small white head. Aroma has some sweetness and hints of alcohol. Flavor is malty with fruity notes. Palate is a bit thin.

Bottle. Orange color and a small white head. Light sweet, hoppy, yeasty aroma and taste, light fruity. Medium body and a dry finish.

Orang-amber, very slight haze; heavily carbonated to orange tinted, dense head, some little lace. Very much cookie malt, and orange zeste, fruity and faint peppery. Sweet and fruity taste, alcoholic - much more than 6.5% ABV would lead one to expect - even liqueurish. Again spicey, but I cannot identify vanilla. OTOH, honey is quite plausible, albeit more outfermented than usual with honeybeers. Medium bodied, alcoholburn, dry in the finish. Honey flavour finally emerges warming up, at the end of the bottle. Only the MF gives away that this is not really a big beer. It has some characteristics of one, all the same.

Cloudy amber color, medium white head. Nicely balanced aroma of hops, some apple, bit yeast. Taste is yeasty, sour green apple and hoppy. Very hopbitter finish.

Hoppy, fruity, yeasty and malty aroma. Clear. amber coloured with a white lasting head. Taste is yeasty, green apple (sour) and hoppy. Very hopbitter finish. Not much balance in taste; aroma is better.

not bad, not great. seems satisfied with being somewhere in between

A nice beer.

Just a hint of vinegar sourness. Vanilla and apple in the flavor.
