Head, giant, white, frothy. Colour is some dirty golden-amber and hazy. Aroma: yeast, some nutty turkish delight sweetness, yet dry. Gets fruitier as it warms up. Taste: pretty bitter, slightly fruity with a spicy and bitter finish. Unfortunately, also had some kind of off-flavour -something between yeasty and boiled vegetables that spoiled it all.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 Gele kleur, mooie plakkerige kraag. Aroma komt op wat warmere temperaturen pas goed los, eem mengeling van mout en zoet fruitige perzik ofzoiets. Smaak is wat vlak eigenlijk, vrij zoet, wat vage kersen kauwgum. Bittere nasmaak. Als geheel wel ok. Re-rate. Van de tap @ de klep. Smaakt wat voller en beter dan uit de fles.

Pours dark gold with white soap bubble and nice lacing. Aroma is a little off. Some burnt sour citrus. Taste is good. Citrus, yeast, and sugar. High carbonation that dances on the tongue.

33 cl bottle.

Pours copper color with a large head. Aroma of toffee, yeast, some spices, caramel malts and sweet ripe fruits. Flavor of sweet fruits, toffee, yeast and spice notes. Decent.

330ml bottle from IPB.
Appearance : Slightly hazy yellow with medium foamy white head. Lots of lacing and long head retention.
Aroma : Spicy hops with light herbal notes. Belgian yeast. Slightly grassy. Light honeyed malts.
Taste : Light fruits with grassy and herbal hops. Graddy finish with herbal hops. Light belgian yeast.
Overall : Not bad, taste better than nose. Felt a bit old despite being drank right after reception thru private import. Nice finish, nice hops. Really nice looking.

Pours a deep cloudy amber with a large but diminishing white head. Aromas of grain, apple juice and a light floral note. Taste starts off with apple and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg (a la apple pie) before giving way to some darker fruit flavours of plum, fruit mince and orange zest. Not overly sweet, quite a soft palate and a nice spicy aftertaste. Good.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2013 Bonne bière blonde à la belle robe claire légèrement trouble. Amertume prononcée mais n’attaquant pas le palais. Longueur en bouche.

Draught. Although it has a quite balanced bitterness, I'm not a fan. Too much CO2 I guess.

Pours dark blond, golden colour with two finger head. Aroma has hints of yeast and honey. Taste is sweet, caramel, honey, aftertaste is a little bit hoppy. Nice beer!
