(Belgium) After a day at the Liederkranz, The Knights got together for another round of liquid refreshments !!! Pours a hazy gold color with a nice foamy white head. Aroma of warm bread, spices, and citrus. The taste was of sweet fruits and caramel. I was not sure at first but it turned out pretty good.

Another shared post Beer Fest with the Devonshire Ks- Light gold pour with large foam white head. Spicy sweet, hops and bread like on the pallet. Nice blend with a rather subdued smooth spice mix. A citrus note and a slight carbonation dryness towards the end.

Bottle shared with the Devonshire boys. Pours light gold with a humongous white head. Smells sweet with lots of coriander. Lots of coriander in the flavor with some sweetness to balance. The feel is very mellow, no doubt that the coriander is what smooths it out. Good , but not complex, and too much spice to make it a regular drinker.

On draft at JeanRo Bistro.
Pours a hazy gold in color with a nice, huge, frothy head. Smell is slightly spicy. Not sure on the exact spice(s), but after having the Gulden Draak, this is entirely different. Clean, zesty, and spicy on the taste. A little more bitter in the taste and not as full on the mouthfeel.

This is one Belgian beer that doesnt get me all that excited. Dont get me wrong, it is good...but not world class. Pours a dark goldish color. Big head too. Cloudy as hell. Smell is sweet fruit, bread and some spice and wood. Flavor is good but complexity to me is lost in this one. Good mouthfeel though.

Pours a vibrant lemon yellow colour, cloudy with a large fluffy white head. Great body, excellent retention in the sticky resinous head. Nice and citrusy, a great soft mild wheat mouthfeel. Well carbonated, great floral hop character on the nose.

A beautiful looking gold, with a lively white head- good carbonation, body slightly cloudy due to the unfiltered. A perfect summer cafe beer with a bit of citrus to it.

Bottle (750ml). Poured a honeyed brown with a large, dense, off-white head which was mostly lasting. Strong pear notes in the aroma with sweet bready malts, lemon zest, dried apricots, coriander, cinnamon and some cloves (mild). Flavor was of sweet bready malts with pears, lemon zest, white pepper (alcohol) and a spicy finish (coriander and cinnamon). Full bodied with lively carbonation, a creamy mouthfeel and a good finish.
