Sweet malty aroma, with a hint of spice. Pours golden blonde. Sweet malt upfront, some spice, then a dry hoppiness.

750 mL, room temperature. Pours a pale cloudy blond beer. Strong carbonation. Rich sticky withe foam. This beer grants us with sweet malt and fruity notes: Some yeasty flavors of apples and pears. Herbal bitterness. Very drinkable and available beer

<Bottle from Beerbiker> Hazy golden with a very thick foamy white head. Heavy aroma of belgian yeast, mandarine and coriander. Flavor is sweet fruity and mild hobby with a good amont of spiced coriander. Best belgian golden ale i’ve had

75 cl bottle. Citrus notes in the fragrance with a slight hint of apple. Pours a light amber with minor lacing as the head subsides. Tasted in a Chimay chalice. Tasting was a light hoppy with mild malt. There are appearances of banana and pineapple with undertones of corriander. Overall it is a generally satisfying bier.

75cl comprata da Squillari versa colore biondo scuro con schiuma abbondante, aroma dolce e secco miele e magnolia; sapore leggermente sbilanciato sul dolce ma con una buona nota di lievito. Tutto sommato un’ottima birra, meglio averla assaggiata prima della nuova amministrazione Moortgat

Pours a nice gold with a really soft head that lasts a while. The aroma is really refreshing, with lots of citrus and light hops. The taste is great... fruits dominate (apple? pineapple?) don’t edge out the malts, yeasts and hops. The mouthfeel is really thick and gives it long and smooth finish. An elegant beer that stays close to its roots but branches out into its own unique territory.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It started by bursting out of the bottle, not just once, but after pouring to glasses, it slowly started to come out of the bottle again, and then a third time. The beer had a golden color, with a lot of microfloaties, and an off-white head, big but diminishing. The nose was sweetish and citrusy, and quite spicy, with a vague alcohol note and a weak sour hint. It had a sweet and spiced flavor, with a nice bitterness showing up after a second or two. The bitterness were also very evident in the long finish, and had company by a spicy touch. A full-bodied, pleasant beer. (070915)
