Bottle, 75cl - Orange colored beer with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity malty with strong notes of oranges, caramel and with hints of alcohol. Flavor is very nice, heavy notes of oranges. Alcohol flavor is evident but not overwhelming, instead it brings a nice warming feel to the beer which blends real well with the soft hoppiness. Highly enjoyable!

bottle of big chouffe 2008: pours a golden hay colour that is clean with a verry little white head. aroma is a good sourness with a fresh lively fruit, almost melon like ends with a slight floralness. flavour is excellent slight bitter to start with a touch of funk with just a start of floralness, finishes very well, very nice beer.

Pours hazy gold/copper with lots of carbonation and a nice white head. A sweet, watery nose with lots of fruit (oranges, grapefruit), and some spicy, grassy hops. Highly carbonated, the flavor is not as sweet but with some fruit, yeast, and more of a hop presence. A larger body than expected, the carbonation really keeps this fresh and invigorating. An interesting beer, where some things work for me and some don’t.

On tap at Pater’s Vaetje, Antwerp. Pours cloudy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is nice and spicy with notes of wheat and hops. Flavour is very fruity and fresh and leaves a long aftertaste.

Bottled 75cl. It pours hazy orange beer with a white head. Strong lovely aroma with notes of coriander. Terribly pleasant taste. Sweet. The alcohol is well hidden. Medium bodied. Hints of coriander. Spicy finish. Flawless. A great beer. Rerate: Definately a fantastic beer- notes of coriander, cinnamon and lovely german hops in both aroma and taste. Spicy, fruity, perfectly balanced, highly drinkable and deeply pleasant.

Pours a golden orange color with a large lacing white head. Very complex flavors, most notably crisp citrus and spicy yeast. Medium body and very drinkable.
