Love it! on tap at Eulogy Belgian Tavern in Philadelphia, PA. pours a watered down tangerine hue, well carbonated, smells of sweet, fresh honey-lemon. tastes of wheat, sweet malts, light and goes down easy. golden ale. I could have had many.

A slightly peachy golden pour with a foamy head that fades to a light ring around the glass for the duration of the drink. An aroma of coriander and yeast. A flavor of light fruit and a spicy that I wanted to call nutmeg but I don’t think so. Not the aggressive carbonation that I expected. I liked that. I drank this beer at about 55* the 8% certainly did warm it up. Very good.

I visited the Brewery in Achouffe (Belgium):this beer is a home-made family beer,all around is the Ardenne forest full of gnomes. I like very much.

Bottled. A hazy and bright golden beer with a big foam. The aroma is spicy, flowery and malty. The flavour is sweet, spicy, but with a good hoppiness. Some bitterness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel and medium body. Very nice.

Sampled at DeWolf’s Tavern in Bristol, RI in an 11.2 oz bottle. Pours an extremely cloudy, particulate-filled, golden orange colour that left a stream of yeast precipitating from the head down, that looked like a double-helix. The head had great retention. F’ing epic. The scent was of apple, yeast, mild spice, and orange. The flavour is certainly full of spice, mostly coriander, and a variety of fruit, including orange peal, lemon, pear, apple and citrusy hops. This stuff rocks.

Tap at Café Belgique, march 07. Fruity, orangey, spicy, yeasty aroma. Full malty, coriander, alcoholic taste with a honey, orange and lemon ending. Medium MF with some chewy malts and spicyness. Glowing orange-gold hazy color with a medium white head that disappears but leaves some lacing. A succulent, warming and enjoyable strong golden.
