On tap. Hazy golden/yellow color, very thick head. Hoppy and flowery smell. Sweet-bitter taste, with spicy notes.

Silvan7 (119) - Samarate, ITALY - APR 23, 2013
on tap @ sister pub. mi piacciono talmente tanto le strong ale che anche questa (scarsa) industrialona alla fine la butto giù volentieri. Il profumo è classico da belga, con alcool pronunciato, sentori dolci di caramello e canditi. il colore è ambrato mediamente opaco, un po’ troppo trasparente per non essere filtrata. la schiuma è bianca e generosa, abbastanza vaporosa. In bocca ha un sapre un po’ metallico, ma si avverte bene la nota calda del malto e c’è una luppolatura (a mio parere) un po’ slegata. Si avvertono anche spezie( su tutte cannella). Il corpo è scarnoquasi acquoso. la carbonatazione buona. il finale è luppolato amaro non molto in linea con lo stile.

Majek (79) - Ząbki, POLAND - APR 22, 2013
Hazy and pale, straw color with nice frothy head. Very intensive aroma of spices (coriander) and yeast. Taste is similar with herbal hops. Well balanced. Despite of high ABV, it’s perfectly hidden. Fabulous belgian ale!

Good belgian ale, pure taste at least. Quite balanced too, maybe even a bit too soft.

Draft i DenBosch. En mkt bra belgare med typisk brödig jästsmak. Gillar verkligen men allt smakar bra på en trevlig uteservering! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

berkshirejohn (3638) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - APR 19, 2013
Draught at the Holiday Inn, Leiden. Hazy amber with a loose white head; yeasty aroma; spicy, grainy body with a light bitterness; and a lingering grassy finish.

jookos (761) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 15, 2013
Bottle. Yellow, pale, hazy. A bit of a fresh spicy nose - coriander, even camomile, sort of wit- type flavouring. Wheaty malts, belgian yeast. Body is full, soft. The spices, the malts. very flavourful and nice. Doesn’t feel hot or tacky, quite nice for one bottle at least.
