Fruit and mild sweetness in flavor. Not bad, could have more flavor but decent enough.

Amber, white head. Too sweet, too flowers in aroma. Disappointed as i am a fan of van steenberge. B@H

bottled, bright orange red glowing pour, some slight foam, aroma is plain.papery, pool water, flavor is some grainy and brittle hops, fruity with short artificial sweetner finish

bottle thanks to mora2000. poured gold with a white head. caramel, overly sweet, faint hops, and some fruits. smooth on the palate, flavor is heavy on the fruit, caramel, and again overly sweet.

Aroma is quite floral and yeasty and has a hint of bitter orange. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet. Bitter, syrupy orange peel and a dry, bitter finish.

Originally rated December 2005. Pours a mango-like juice colour with sediments all over, and nice and hazy. Beautiful off-white creamy head, with very long retention and good thick lace. The nose is pleasant with Belgian yeast and fruits. The mouthfeel is watery and carbonated. The taste is the same as the aromas, except milder. More yeast than bitterness. Not much afteraste, just clean. Still, a nice Belgian strong ale.

(330ml bottle thanks to Mora2000) clear medium gold with a thick yellow cream head. Nose is tart, tangerine, vinous. Taste of grape, alcohol, gold raisins and toasty. Creamy/oily body, decent full flavor linger.

Light malt aroma. Cloud red color with a small but thick off white head. Sweet and mildly sour beginning that slowly fades in the finish. Thick palate.

A me più che una belgianstrongale, mi sembra una fruit beer, talmente è dolce, appena bevibile...

Sampled at Gothenburg Beer Festival 2011. September 3, 2011
Flowery aromas of creamy malt and caramel. Sweet and soft taste that doesn’t leave much impact. Pretty much tastes of fruit and sweet malt.
