Hazy orange, light head. Spicy notes with sweet malts and fruit. A great mix of flavours present with oranges and some citrus fruits, cinnamon and extremely yeasty. The finish is bitter and hides the alcohol well. This is a good Belgium.

On tap in a Providence resturant. A copper, amber, hazzy color. Fruity, sweet, spiced scent. Tastes similiar to scent except more of a sweet taste, maybe caramel and a smokey sweet dried fruit to go along with a yeasty feel and taste. . Very nice, will go back to drink again.

750ml - Sweet sugar nose, gold color with an internal glow, starchy mouthfeel, astringent on back. Expected more layers to the flavor. 29 Apr 09 - Tried it again. This does not have one distinct note or flavor (hops, malt, spice) and accordingly is far more subtle than others in the style. Didn’t get the sweetness this time.

Pours a nice orange amber color with an inch thick white bubblie head. Aroma of citrus, banana and yeast. Taste is carbinated, citrus and hoppy. A touch of alcohol in the taste.

Shared with newbie ratebeer guy Maltajo. Pours a hazy gold with a thick white head. Aroma had lots of citrus, banana, yeast, spices, and a hint of sourness going on. Taste was smooth and refreshing with lots of the citrus and yeast. Finishes clean and with a hint of fruit on the palate. Very tasty.
