Aroma is pleasant - yeast, fruity, slightly spicy. Pours a hazy gold, nice white head with solid lacing. I found this Belgian uncomplicated yet satisfying. Smooth as silk, a dry finish, alcohol is barely noticable. Sweetish flavours. Balanced and refined delivery.

A nice foamy head with some lacing. It has a nice orange tint and a fruity aroma. The flavor is fruity and spicy, but very smooth and the coriander flavor is up front. A very nice ale with a balanced flavor and lively palate.

Aroma is pleasure to the senses, a mix of spices, coriander and orange notes. Mouthfell is warming and has lots of texture. Very well balanced, a little light on the body. Toffee like and sweet. Aftertaste was pleasant not overpowering, somewhat dry and lightly spicy. The knomes have done well.

Light orange with large white head that laced the glass the whole way through. Pine, hops. somewhat skunky aroma. Little spicy, some hops, more sweet and yeast, orange, just a bit bitter and dry finish. Very smooth and soft, got better as it continued to warm. The gnome makes this beer...

Bottled (750ml), gift from Michael and Anjoo.
Golden, pretty beer with an attractive, shiny white head. Spicy, uplifting hop flavour. Progressive flavour with real complexity. Really enjoyed this beer, particularly for the depth of flavour that I had forgotten was possible (currently living in Barcelona).

On draft at O’Briens. Pours rich golden with a light haze and a large, fluffy, white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is heavy of rich and fruity malts, peach, subtle bready yeasts, pear and light citrus notes. Delicious maltiness, fruit, ripe apricot, bit of banana, spice and yeast with well hidden alcohol. Full body and creamy carbonation. Very nice!
