Pours a slightly cloudy pale orange, copious off-white head, great lacing. Great aroma of citrus, spice, specifically cloves. Impressively clean taste, amazing balance, a bit dry on the palate, but not unwelcome. Very well-masked alcohol. Yes, it’s damn good.

Birra dal colore arancio - dorato accompagnato da una schiuma fitta e persistente.Al naso vengono fuori le spezie e l’erbaceo.Aromi molto piacevoli co un finale asciutto.Anche se presenta un buon tenore alcolico si rende facile da bere.

MrBeerFanatic (502) - jamestown, New York, USA - JUN 9, 2010
1 pt 9.4 fl oz bottle wegmans. Dark murky yellow with a slight orange hue soapy laced head. Aromas of orange/lemon, spicy hops, slight caramel, wheat, ginger. Flavors of orange/lemon/citrus zest, light caramel, slight metallic note, light bread, grassy hops. Sweet, refreshing, light bitterness, light carbonation. A decent belgian, but a little to pricey for what its worth. Damn the imports!

Abio (1058) - Waasland, BELGIUM - JUN 7, 2010
Very lightly golden, very lightly orange coloured. Nice white medium head, that holds good and forms a nice lace. Hoppy sweet-fruity aroma, some yeast also. Not bad. Citrus sour-sweet a bit hoppy taste. Not bad at all.

danielst (226) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - JUN 3, 2010
75cl bottle: Very strong aroma of apples, bananas and spices, unfortunately a little skunky (green bottle...). A somewhat acidic impression from the high carbonation. Light orange in colour with a thick, bright white head. Hay-like pilsner (?) malt on the palate, yeast and warming alcohol. A dry mouthfeel, just a little sweetness. Personally, I don’t like a strong yeast/esters presence, but otherwise a pretty good beer.

Hazy golden color with a nice white head. Yeasty fruity aroma with some flowers. Flavor is malty and with lots of sweet fruits. Sweet aftertaste.
