(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was an above average Belgian strong ale.

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.
