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

Draft. Great Belgian. Cloudy yellow color with a golden hue. Hoppy and fruity aromas. Flavor is sweet (not too sweet) and fruity. The beer is very smooth and quite easy to drink (even at 8%)!

From a bottle. Fruity and hoppyaroma, strawberry and raspberry like. Pours in a cloudy yellow/gold colour with a good head. The taste is very spicey and hoppy with some subtle fruity notes. Full bodied with a warming bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

This is one of the easiest drinking Belgian beers I have ever had. Aroma of fruit and spice. Pour was a heavy gold with a nice 2 finger head. There is a ton of sediment in this beer which is an A plus in my book. Nice crisp mouthfeel with lots of carbonation and fruity undertones.

A light golden yellow coloured beer with a thick and frothy white head. Potent spicy nose, peppery with cloves and a wheat beer-like tropical fruit aroma. Fizzy, but full mouthfeel. The taste is dry, a huge clove and pepper spice flavour matched by a fruity mix of orange, grapefruit, banana and mango. The finish is dry, spicy and fruity. (On Tap - The Fat Cat, Norwich, Norfolk).

The color was golden with orange hues. There was a lot of visible carbonation. It was a very active beer. The head was foamy, creamy, and off-white. The aroma was slightly tart, yeasty, and dry hops. The flavor was spice and dry hops. The palate was medium-bodied and nicely carbonated. The finish was dry.
