Gedronken bij de Kroon, dankzij joes, ruikt en smaakt zoet, sinaasappel achtig, zacht, minder alc. Net niet zo lekker als no. 1 maar wel lekkerder als no. 2.

Hazy light amber color; frothy and short lived head. Light aroma of caramel and some vegetables. Highly carbonated, with some vegetables flavor, no notable malt, alcoholic, and drier than its sisters. No trace of Madeira.

Popped the cork and was a bit of a gusher... Pours a light amber color with a big frothy three finger head that settles quickly. Aromas are sweet belgian candi, yeast and some vinous fruit... On the palate its light and subtle with the barrel notes but there is some raisiny madeira notes mingled together with the sweet apple notes and touches of belgian spice. Nice Beer and smooth drinker for the abv.
