650mL bottle from the Lhyikbo. Pours a hazy pale gold with a large white head. The aroma is of pale malts in that Belgian kind of way, strong yeast, mild spicy hops and not many esters. Nice. Flavour is very sweet hitting right away with slightly thick pale Belgian malt, powdered sugar, candi sugar, light lemony hop zing and faint esters of pear and apple. Lingering subtle herbal hop character. Crisp and light feeling despite the ABV. Went well with some old cheddar and crackers. Nice afternoon drinker but nothing I’d go out of my way for ever again.

Camons (1493) - Hasselager, DENMARK - NOV 13, 2010
Bottle @ Home. Pours hazy golden orange with a white head, fregmets of yeast floating in the beer. Nose is spices, sweet white bread, fruit. Taste is fruity, Belgian yeast, some wheat, light spices, light floral hops, very refreshing and easy drinking. Medium body, soft carbonation. Good.

Hazy, orange beer. Lots of frothy head. Fruity, spicy aroma. A little of yeast. Fruity, somewhat bitter flavour.

manuchampions (1154) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 29, 2010
Has a fruit, flowery aroma, with some citrus, yeast and spice as well. Orange/amber, with a huge long lasting vanilla head, lots of floaties, lovely lace. Beautiful marriage of tangerine, and yeast flavours, quite spicey, terrific mouthfeel and tongue tingle. A Wonderful Belgian Strong!

Served on tap at Brussels Bistro in Laguna. The appearance is a nice golden hue with a huge lasting white head. The aromas are spicy, bready, and a English influenced hop. The flavors follow with a bready entry with a building baking and pepper spice on tongue that never gets too big. Mouth is medium bodied with a moderate about of carbonation. Not too bad.
