750ml from Drankencentrale. Clear straw color with medium to large head, nice lacing. Slight grass, spicy hops, dry aroma. Flavor is slight spicey/floral hops with grainy malt, subtle sweetness, banana, nice. Medium body with light carb. Slightly pilsner in sensation atleast there are some hops to round it out, sessionable.

Hazy straw color leaving nice white lacing. Fruity and yeasty (typical Belgian) aroma. Rich on the tongue, malty and the hops seem like they could be aged so little aroma, but some flavor. I’d love to have one of these every night.

750ml bottle. pretty good stuff. lacks the kick in carbonation of duvel, which i prefer. otherwise, the brew can be characterized as a prototypical golden belgian ale.

Poured beautifully. Color of orange marmalade. Pillowly, dense head. Aesthetically pleasing. Great apricot nose with spiced citrus flavors. Delicious...well-balanced alcohol, lovely carbonation, a joy to behold.
