Swingtop bottle. Pours hazy orange gld with a frothy white head. Dusty floral aroma with a hint of toast. Near medium body with lightly frothy carbonation. Flavor is lighter fruits and floral hop. With yeast. Ends decently bitter. Heat burns a bit in the finish. Damn fine drink.

Bottled (from thebelgianbeershop.com). A bit hazy yellowish golden colour with huge fluffy head. Aroma lace. Aroma is fruits, some earthy notes as well as herbal and yesty. Flavour is quite much the same with some grassyness and mild alcoholic sweetness added. Ends rather earthy and yeasty.

Bottle. Pours blond with a frothy white head. Pours a decent amount of yeast. Herbal, citrus hops nose. Clean hop aroma with some yeast, and straw grainy notes. Sweet evolving to dry. Not really crispy. Not overly hoppy either. For its ABV also a bit light bodied.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet matly with light notes of butter, straw, and floral hops. The flavor is sweet malty with spicy notes of coriander, leading to a dry spicy and slightly lactic acidic finish.

Golden blond colour. Quite a floral aroma. Taste is fresh and clean. Flavour and hoppy and bittersweet with warming alcohol. Slightly soapy texture is disappointing.

33cc at waterhuis aan de bierkant in a first spring sunny day like de name sounds is it a beer with hoppy flavor.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of joergen/MiP/yespr. Clear golden with a dense white head. sweetish fruity aroma. Medium body, sweetish fruity, some yeast and a fairly bitter finish. Pleasant. 200309

Bottle. Cloudy hazy yellowy goldy with an out of control white head. Tastes more like an English ale than a Belgian. Thick rich palate that I was a little unsure what to make of really. Decent enough, usual malts and hops with a hint of the belgian yeast. Not bad.

Had this beer as Hopus Blone at La Mort Subite. Biggest head I have ever seen on a beer, only very slightly cloudy goldene. the head falls slowely and leaves great lacing.Clear hop aroma, very clean, sweet start that changes quickly to a hop finish.with no aftertaste.

Bottle. Hazy gold with a white head. Aromas are apple, pear and citrus with spices and brown sugar. Some cream. Flavours are sweet biscuit malts and pear with apple and lemon. Earthy and yeasty with evident alcohol on the finish. Good.
