Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 13, 2004
A hazy orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of coriander, licorice root, alcohol, and oranges as well as hints of yeast. The flavor is sweet with strong fruity notes: oranges and peach combined with notes of honey, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth and the end a little dry.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 12, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 8, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Golden, nice and pretty stable head. Very full-bodied with quite some sweetness and a very dominating alcohol. Not the most sophisticated of strong, golden Belgians but this will do... 150893

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - OCT 25, 2007
33 cL bottle. Pours golden clear yellow with a huge white head. Spiced aroma, classic Belgian. Flavour starts somewhat sweet malty but is soon lead into a distinct spice and yeasty flavour. Overall is a distinct alcohol flavour and feel. Too much for my liking.

Canned. Golden colour, big white creamy head. Aroma is fruits, glueish and some yeast. Flavour is fruits, yeast, some sugar and malts. A very pleasantly balanced beer. As it gets warmer also some spices and slight honeyish hints become present.
