pours light and cloudy-yellow with large head. aromas of citrus and strong fruit. very light-bodied and minimal mouthfeel considering the style. some banana and orange on the palate, but, overall taste is a bit disappointing.

This beer pours a cloudy yellow with a medium head. The aromas are bananas and other citrus. Flavor is bread, citrus and belgian sugars. Cheers!

Banana and citrus peel are definitely the defining flavors of this beer. A fantastic ale that you could actually session on. Poured from a 750ml bomber; it’s very highly carbonated. It pours a huge head compared to most. Golden-amber in color. Citrus peel and spices all the way through!

In Bottiglia. Colore dorato, schiuma compatta. Profumo di lievito e speziato. Al palato è piacevole, caramellosa, avvolgente e pulita in chiusura. Nonostante la caduta di qualità degli ultimi anni rimane sempre un must.

earthy, much fermentation/carbonation, a hint of spice and citrus make for a refreshing Belgian Golden ale

Chalsk (824) - North Caldwell, New Jersey, USA - FEB 5, 2010
Aroma of banana, clove, and faint hops. Pours a yellow orange haze. Some life. Medium head with lacing. Creamy taste, nice carbonation level. Banana and clove are well balanced by the bitters and carbonation. Nice thick body. Cannot go wrong with the Chouffes.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - FEB 4, 2010
Bottle at home. Pours a hazy, coppery golden color with a small white head. Hoppy spicy fruity aroma that lies somewhere between a triple and a blonde beer. Very lovely complex fruity spicy flavor, mostly bitter and slightly sweet. One of my first specialties, and still an all-time favorite.

Pours a hazy orange colour with a big foamy white head. The aroma is of citrus fruits; orange and lemon, spices and herbs, and a little yeast too. The taste is fairly sweet with the fruits being most present, but it is also slightly bitter towards the finish. The carbonation can be described as lively and the beer itself feels somewhat thick on the palate. Overall a very good beer.
