Cloudy gold color. Aroma of cinnamon and clove. Well-balanced. Slightly bitter finish. Good example of the style.

Looks a little like a cloudy lager with bigger bubbles. Tastes like caramel apples and spices. Lightly hopped. Nice, unique beer.

750 ml bottle. Golden color, explansive white head. Spicy coriander aroma. Spicy flavor as well, with some alcohol and a malty finish. Medium body, high carbonation. Prickly mouthfeel. The carbonation is too heavy, but the flavor is nice.

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

This beer is good as it poured a yellow orange with the same color head. You can smell the orange and coriander and tastes them also. The after taste is a little bitter, probably the right amount. Lastly there is a little carmel with the citrus.

A little gushing action upon opening. Poured a cloudy gold with a white pillow head. Smells of oranges with a little spice, just a little alcohol and a very slight metallic scent. Tastes like a loaf of bread with a slight banana flavor. Just a little alcohol on the back yet. An amazing beer. I’ve had La Chouffe previously where there was a little skunkiness. This bottle is perfect, though.

11.2 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Hazy orange with lasting head and lace. Very complex aroma of sweet marshmallow apple wine and several spices. Sweet orange pastry flavor with multiple spices, mild spicy bitterness in back. Medium body and carbo. A very complex beer, and delicious too. A little spicy for my taste. I don’t like a bitter spice, is it nutmeg? Still, an excellent challenging yet refreshing and light beer.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, highly alcoholic, with a nice hop bite to it. I expected more hop action.
