Aroma is a mild fruity yeast scent. Color is a hazy yellow with good carbonation and a thin but tight head. Taste is light and fruity. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a fizzy feel. Finish comes in creamy with a sweet fruity and yeasty bread like flavors and a little citrus, then ends with a mild bitterness. After taste has a slight hint of alcohol with a light Belgian yeast taste. Its a good brew but after a bit I did notice a slight skunk, another brewery that for some dumb ass reason puts a good beer in a crap green bottle.

Pours hazy gold/copper with lots of carbonation and a nice white head. A sweet, watery nose with lots of fruit (oranges, grapefruit), and some spicy, grassy hops. Highly carbonated, the flavor is not as sweet but with some fruit, yeast, and more of a hop presence. A larger body than expected, the carbonation really keeps this fresh and invigorating. An interesting beer, where some things work for me and some don’t.

On tap at Pater’s Vaetje, Antwerp. Pours cloudy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is nice and spicy with notes of wheat and hops. Flavour is very fruity and fresh and leaves a long aftertaste.

Bottled 75cl. It pours hazy orange beer with a white head. Strong lovely aroma with notes of coriander. Terribly pleasant taste. Sweet. The alcohol is well hidden. Medium bodied. Hints of coriander. Spicy finish. Flawless. A great beer.

Pours a golden orange color with a large lacing white head. Very complex flavors, most notably sweet and fruity (orange?). Medium body and very drinkable.
