You’ve got to give credit to those belgians, they sure give good head! Really thick and clingy meringue that just would not quit, with a peachy yellow, not quite opaque brew underneath.
Yeasty, with sort of a lactic twang, and vegetal finish that reminded me of asparagus.
Really lively carbonation that seizes your tongue. Yeasty and quite boozy, especially in the aftertaste, that eventually became a bit much for me. It’s sort of a Duvel knockoff that left me lukewarm.

Bottle in Bruges. Dark golden, big fluffy white head. Aroma of malts, fruits and alcohol. Flavour is fruity, malty. Like a sweet version of Duvel.

A hazy yellow/golden colored beer, with a huge white foamy head. The aroma is malty sweet, a little sour, flowery. The taste is full malty, with fruits like mango and some citrus. There is a small little sour taste. It has a long dry aftertaste. A good beer.

Thanks for sharing xnoxhatex. The body was deep yellow with a white head. The aroma was floral with some sweat and paper. The taste was sour with some pears and earthy sweat. There was cinnamon spice along with a buttery finish. Certainly interesting.
