A very plesant malt aroma with citrus. Hazy and golden, the light gets through but it’s still fairly thick. The malt taste is instantly complemented by all of the carmonation. It’s sort of a smooth carbonation, not at all like champagne or the Duvel I recently rated. Very, very plesant.

Looks great, pours hazy yellow with a thick white head. Sweet yeasty aroma. Lots of spice on the nose. In the mouth it is very sift and easy drinking. Very spicy and alcoholic flavour. Slightly citrus. This is a nice beer.

The pour was clear golden copper with a thick white head and nice lacing. Plenty of effervescence. The aroma yeast, light tart fruit and malt. The flavor was yeast, apple, raisin, pepper and malt. The mouthfeel was thin, super clean and very refreshing. Easy drinking.

Pours a golden cloudy yellow with a ton of white head. The nose is sweet malts, sugar, coriander and pine hops. Comes across the palate smooth and sweet initially with some hops through nice sweetness and sp icy; finishes with a nice sugary sweetness that has just a hint of a spice.

Bottle... Poured golden yellow with a white head. Spiced, yeasty aroma and with cloves and grains. Very sweet and mellow. Not alcohol or other bitter notes. Sweet honey flavors with tropical fruits.

Pours with a diminishing white head over a honey coloured clear beer. Smells of spices and honey. Finishes with a neutral-sweetish honey-spice finish. A nice beer.

Pours a hazy golden with rocky white head (surely unfiltered and bottle conditioned). Very active carbonation, lot of bubbles with different size, and velocity. Fresh fruity and spicy aroma with bananas, wheat, coriander and maybe some pear cider notes. Balanced spicy mouthfeel with coriander, pears, apples. Slightly hoppy, rather clove kinda dry finish. Very easy bodied despite the 8%ABV. Smooth oily texture with lively carbonation. Refreshing Strong Ale.
