Very nice and enjoyable beer with great mixt of flavors. Brandman (86), Helsinki, Finland Oct 31, 2009 300 ml bottle. Nce hazy body with white head. Aroma of tart and banana, some maltiness and alcohol. Wheat bread is also there. Maybe too thin mouthfeel for this strong flavour. Somehow this feels more like weizenbock than strong ale. Good one. bvc (227), Kenmore, Washington, USA Oct 15, 2009 330ml bottle shared by scrizzz. Pours a bit murky honey yellow with little in the way of a head. Sweet bread notes with honey and hints of some unidentifiable spices. Slightly sweet malty wheat bread tast going on along with some spicy yeast. Thanks Clint. BeerChaser0078 (280), Melbourne, Australia Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with lots of chunky sediment and a bubbly white head that doesn’t last long. Nose is fairly yeasty and has aromas of orange, nutmeg, coriander, pineapple, banana and a little bit of malt. Flavour is quite similar but with emphasis on the spice and tropical fruit. Mouthfeel has lots of fizzy carbonation yet is also rather creamy. In a lot of ways this is very similar to the regular Hoegaarden but with everything turned up a notch, and also the alcohol is more noticeable. Very Nice. beer4eternity (31), New Zealand Oct 5, 2009 330ml bottle at de Bier Haus Tauranga. Orange gold hazy with lots of sediment. Large white frothy mostly diminishing head, good lacing. Wonderful aromas and taste - yeasty,spicy, bread, banana, orange, almonds. Sweet mostly with mild bitterness and a touch of sour. Medium creamy body, good level of carbonation.
