Dec 24, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy orange color with a nice and persistent white head. Aroma is complex, some floral notes and citrus like orange. Flavor is quite different with sweetness and bitterness, alcohol is almost no perceptible . Mouthfeel is tastefully, like some nice sweety citrus fruit. Good Beer.

Dec 21, 2008 750 cl. bottle, aged for one year. Pours orange and sparkling wit a huge, fluffy head. Spicy and somewhat malty aroma has coriander, orange peel, honeyish malts and floral hops. A hint of alcohol in the finish. The flavor has sweetness of oranges, a bit caramelly malts and then tartness of lemon. The finish is moderately bitter and alcohol is present but not disruptively. The palate is smooth and carbonation is not a problem when using e.g. Duvel or Chimay glass. Medium body and surprisingly easy to drink for such a strong beer.

Dec 10, 2008 750ml bottle. Lively cloudy golden ale with a dense white head. Nose of fresh apples and oranges with hints of coriander and brine. Thick bodied fizzy mouthfeel with tastes of syrupy oranges and spicy yeasts. Not as sweet as a Leffe blond. A mild bitter finish that lingers. Dangerously drinkable.

Dec 7, 2008 Hazy golden ale with dense white head. Light orange aroma. Tastes of spicy coriander with a warm brown sugar finish. Maybe a little minty on the end. Lightly hopped. Very pleasant and drinkable.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with off-white head. The aroma is strong fruity yeast with some interesting herbal hop notes... smells like tangerines, hibiscus, honey, lemon zest, and a little pepper. The flavor is full of pleasantly spicy hops and a honeyish malt backbone. There is some doughy yeast in there, too, with some tangerine and lemon. The finish is spice and hay hops with a slight sour note. The mild bitterness lingers into the aftertaste. Quite good.

Pours amber, unfiltered appearance (good) with a huge, fluffy white head. Honey, currant, and straw aromas with no noticeable hop bouquet. A little bit sweet and sour: honey sweet up front followed by a grain husk astringency; aged hop flavor similar to Orval. Lingering honey sweetness as the beer warms. Medium body with a long clean hoppy finish.
Highly drinkable, which could be dangerous given the alcohol content. Overall, a very good beer that nails the style with ease.
