Bottle. White small but creamy and lasting head. Cobber unclear body. Apple/pear aroma. Bittersweet and fruity flavor.

Bottled. A very slightly hazy orange coloured beer with no head. The aroma has banana and pineapple, and is a bit syrupy. The taste is also sweet and fruity; a real fruit cocktail. None of the yeastiness or spiciness I would be looking for. A bit of a disappointment.

Medium size white head on top of an orangey golden body. Buttery aroma also a little pepper. A little thin in the taste but much more palatable than my previously tasted beer. Soft malt, banana, dry finish but just lacks a bit of guts.

Nice dessert-type beer. Sweet caramel/toffee, apricot, and wild honey flavors. Very, VERY mild hopping! Bit of an alcohol kick, making me think this was a bigger beer than it turns out to be. Some hints of banana and gumballs....making me feel like I might be back in pre-school at snack time, enjoying an apricot juice wearing a couple of Salerno butter cookies on my finger like doughy rings. I hope that’s perfectly clear!

Unexciting beer with buttery honey sweetness, giving me nothing and the persistand yeast gets in the way, never mind the alcohol that would make you think this was a 10% beer.

Pale amber with a creamy head, this has an aroma of pale malts, floral hopping, and tart orange juice. Soft but creamy in the mouth, it tastes of soured orange, sweet malt, white pepper, hop bitterness, and, although not particularly strong, a touch of alcohol. The finish is abrupt, slightly dry. Drinkable, but not memorable.

Medium white head, quickly subsiding. Clear orange body. Sweet vinuous banana-like aroma with sourish lacquer notes. Taste very like the aroma, very soft. Watery mouthfeel. Faint, lingering, peppery, banana-like flavours. No real aftertaste. Good, highly drinkable, but for a Belgian-style beer not that interesting.

Bottled, 330ml, filtered. Orange gold with large white head. There is a spicy, tangy aroma followed by a thinnish and slightly cheap perfumy flavour, bubblgum sweet with a hint of Bazooka Joe strawberry. Grainy and pleasantly malted, but overall a little too cloying.
