Large bottle - corked. Healthy cloudy amber colour, hoppy and mown grass aroma, lasting head albiet small, sticky (my new favorite word!) taste of candy and malt, in fact, very malty. An enjoyable brew

Bottle. Rated on my cellphone behind the back of a bunch of non-rating friends hence this poor rating (note to self: re-rate this one more thoroughly)

Golden orange with a firm head that leaves lacing. Aroma of fruit, apricot, bread. Creamy mouth feel, sweet and tart fruit, firm hop finish

Thank you to boboski to directing me to this listing, I somehow could not find it on my own, even though I’ve been a member of this site for 6.5 years, this was a very average Belgian ale, golden color with a thick white head, nice lacing around the glass, but very average characteristics, nice subtle hop flavor & aroma with notes of honey & yeast, but a very indifferent beer

Bottle. A pretty golden colour with a thin milky white film head. Aroma is sweet and very fruity, mostly apricot and oranges. Flavour has a surprisingly sour edge, dominated by lots of oranges.

bottle corked and caged. poured medium honey with a off white smooth head that some nice lacing. aroma nice light fruits come out nicely with the hops and malts taking a close second, some sourness. nice full mouth feel smooth, a little syrupy Flavor floral oranges, malt, and some yeast spices like cloves and weak cinnamon. after coming in from mowing the grass in 80 degree s this was a nice refreshing beer to have.

Bottle, 500ml. A hazy amber colour with a good head. Aroma is belgian yeast, banana, fresh citrus and a touch of spice. Flavour is malt, marzipan, banana, orange, caramel and a touch of clove. Fairly sweet. High carbonation - too much for my liking. A sweet, malty, somewhat alcoholic finish with some fresh citrus. This is a fairly good Belgian ale.

(33cL bottle, BB May2009): Pours a golden clear yellow, slightly fizzy. Good sized head, diminishing, foamy. Sweet floral aroma, some dark fruit, typical belgian ale aroma. Thick syrupy initail taste, light taste, fizzy & slightly bitter aftertaste, with some fruit sweetness on the end. Very floral taste. Decent, but a little plainish.
