75cl bottle - poured clear gold, beautiful gold with a big white head. Aroma of oranges, cloves, coriander, yeast. Delicate. Very fresh. Flavour is similarly refreshing and clean with lots of light fruit, including apples, pears, a little bit of banana, etc, along with the yeast and Belgian spices and candy sugar. Light and highly drinkable flavour with no trace of the high alcohol content.

75 cl bottle, pours light amber with nice big white head, with good retention. Aroma is citrusy and yeasty wonderfull grapefruit. Taste is very crisp with a good bitterness and some spices. Ends dry with some alcohol warming. Has a ton of wit beer qualities, but packs a punch at 8 percent. Great session beer, very refreshing but strong.

Amsterdam 08. On tap. Pours a clear golden with a big white head. Smells fruity with a hint of pineapple. Sweet with yeasty citric aromas. Also some corriander and spicy hops notes. Medium to full bodied. Dry finish.

Enjoyed at The Stable. Pours a cloudy gold and could pass as a hefe. Aroma offers a nice orange peel along with yeast. Flavor was also full of orange with yeast. Some nice hop provides floral notes as well as some bitterness. Multifaceted and very interesting. An enjoyable beer.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with tropical fruit, pineapple and hints of yeast. Fruity taste with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus, hints of yeast and generous doses of spicy hops in the finish. Rather sweet. Nice and solid beer.

Blonde foncée avec une mousse épaisse qui dure. Goût pétillant épicé avec une bonne amertume.
