Wonderful color out of the bottle, sustained white head. Spiced but not over spiced, very fruity flavor and finish. This was a wonderful treat found at our local brewpub. (Canal Street Pub in Reading PA)

At the Taphouse at Queens Way. Gold with a big white head. Aroma of hops, coriander, orange peel, and grass. Taste includes many fruits and typical Belgian spices. Mouthfeel is a bit dry, but this is mostly due to the 8%. That said, this is very drinkable, and I finished my glass in less than 3 minutes.

On Draft. Big fluffy head, golden body. Flavours of honey, sweet malt and alcohol. I found a strong white grape juice flavour in there too. Sweet finish. You can taste the strong alcohol in the beer, normally that would put me off, but as with Duvel, it didn’t with this beer. A good strong ale with an easy palate.

Bottle. Strong urine colouring with a huge white fluffy head typical to belgian stled beer. Very hoppy, peppery, grassy aroma. Strong taste of coriander, peppery hops with lashings of juicy apricots,citrus fruits, and grassy hops. Nice dry spicy finish coating the tongue with corinander and banana hops. Pleasant to drink
