Bottled(330ml). -cloudly orange, fruity accents, good yeast aroma, creamy head

Bottled. Cloudy light orange. Fruit and yeast notes in the aroma, with just a hint of clove. Slightly bitter in the flavour with notes of clove and citrus. Fizzy mouthfeel, warming headfeel...

Cloudy blond beer; giant creamy head. Pleasant malty and spicy aroma (coriander); dry. Dry and spicy taste as well, very well balanced; some malt; correct bitterness at the end, quite long. I appreciate it mostly for its harmony.

Hazy, deep straw color. Very aromatic beer that brings oranges, musty yeast, leather, and metal. Firm citrus flavor and sourness, herbs, medium bitterness, and yeasty depth. Tangy palate. This beer begs to be cellared.

Bottled. Cloudy orange with creamy head. Orangey yeasty aroma. Sugary sweet with soft mouthfeel. Malty and mild. Once upon a time this was one of the beer that got me started, and I don't know if it has lost a bit of itäs edge, or if my taste have changed since.

Hazy golden honey color with a thin white head that quickly diminished, leaving a basically flat beer. Very "Trippel"-ish aroma. Soft, sweet, and fruity. Orange, banana, white pepper, simply syrup, vanilla and slightly metallic at times. Sweet banana, clove, melon and alcohol flavors. A decent finish and a rather tasty beer.

Drak golden color with a large creamy white head. Aroma of yeasr, pineapple, mango and some peppery alcohol. Taste: Very fruity (pineapple, melon) with some acidity (coriander, citrus peels). Dry, spicy and warming finish.

Golden hazy color. Taste is a complex pattern of fruit and spices. Finishes light and nicely balanced.

Spicy, lightly fruity aroma. Slightly hazy, with a golden color. Complex fruit notes are present in abundance, pineapples being particularly noticeable. Aftertaste is fairly light, with a touch of vanilla among the fading fruit and spice. This is a complex and well-balanced beer.

Bottled Conditioned. A very good beer - it pretty much just tastes like a higher alcohol version on Hoegaarden - but really is nicer. Would buy again.
