I got this on tap at a Belgian beer bar in Barcelona. Pours a yellow color with a nice sized and long lasting head. Aroma is loaded with spices and a bunch of fruits and it is pretty inviting. Nicely hopped with those Belgian style hops. Slightly sweet, but mostly rather spicy. Somewhat bitter, but never too intense. Very good overall.

(From tap) Pretty blond beer with a lasting head. Spicy taste, but surprisingly pure and refreshing.

0.75l bottle from the Croatian Beershop shared with heavy. Poured a murky golden, honeyish, lively carbonation. Mediumto small thick white head. The nose is so lovely, sweet fruity, oranges and apricots, some dusty hopiness. That was nice but the taste never lived up to it. Light sweet maltiness on top of which lied some hopiness, polleny and flowery, that gives a persistant bitterness. That’s more or less it. Not impressive but tasty.

Apperance; nice light unclear with a yelloish head. There is a small aroma of fruits but it gets better and more clear when it get in your mouth. Good!

Pours hazy deep golden, big fluffy white head. Aromas are sweet and herbaceous. Malty sweetness mingles with clove & coriander. Flavour is full of clove & corriander, some sweet malt & hop bitterness. Dry finish. Very complex.

750 ml. bottle, shared with Gabe. Pours very exuberantly, watch out for bubbling over, thin head of good duration, very slight lacing over a golden yellow cloudy body.....nose is fruity, banana, some bubblegum aromas, some honey.....tastes of mace, nutmeg, allspice with sweetness throughout, mild hop bitterness at finish, with alcohol and a bit of medicinal finish....mouth feel light and slightly watery.
