Nice and fruity, poured beautifully, nice head. Too carbonated and the alcohol really overpowered the flavour. Nice, and it is a trappist, but nothing to write home about

Bottle. Pours a orange amber colour with a light head. Plenty of malt and fruity hops in the aroma. The taste is very citrus, with a hint of spices. The beer finishes with a bitter citrus aftertaste.

Bottle, from Phil l, via Beer Merchants. Thanks Phil! Slightly hazy copper with a nice white head, settling away fairly quickly. Musky sweet melon and peach aroma, a little touch of hay. Flavor plays out along those same lines, with an additional subtle spice note. Flowery sweet, but finishes fairly dry. Very nice.

My friend handed me a bottle of this ale after a very hot and humid day. I had never heard of the beer and was very surprised with the taste, also how refreshing is was. A slightly fruity taste and a unique orange coloring, i would recommend it to anyone.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Was expecting averageness and was blind sided by nice and tasty. Result. Clear gold and due to a wife pour had a huge fluffy white head. Fruity and citrusy (if thats a word, I put Y on the end of everything) Vanilla cream. I thought this was lovely. Very me though.
