330ml Bottle (Shared by FatPhil) - Golden in colour. Brandy and apple in the aroma. Apple,plum and sponge cake in the taste with a faint hoppy hint. Past its best,but still very drinkable,even if it is a different beast to what it once was.

Draught at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Amber/orange color, small white head. Sweet fruity, yeasty aroma. Notes from pine apples and peach. Malty fruity flavor, apples, grapes, fresh but rather sweet.

Bottled sample via lubiere. Dark gold in colour with medium carbonation and floaties. Aromas are of apricot, spicy yeast, and sweetish pale malts. The malts are a bit sticky-sweet in the mouth, but are somewhat balanced by floral and spice notes. Drying a slightly oxidized on the finish. It reminds me a bit of Leffe Blonde, but might have shown a bit differently if it were fresher. Average overall.

A golden ale with a thin creamy white head. A sweet candy malt with light wet dog notes,orange pulp. In mouth, a sweet oxidized malt, with creamy yeasts, light vanilla, coriander, very sustained. Bieropholie imports.

Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of spices, yeast, fruits. Flavour is orange, fruits, yeast and some spice. Dry finish. Thin and dull blond.

Orangey golden body, ever so slightly hazy. Thick fluffy white head that slowly went away. Spicy yeasty nose, some dull honey and agrumes Some dust. Light sweet malty taste, remarkably pleasant, notes of candied orange, slightly sourish and yeasty. Extremely weak cardboard is the only indication that this is a bit old. A remarkably drinkable blond and a very pleasant surprise.

#399... 0.33 l bottle from belgianshop.com, without etiquette, BB Mar 2008. Poured golden body with medium-bigger head. Quite nice aroma, yeasty and malty, with banana, lemon, orange and some spices, just what one would expect. Bit oldish flavor, it’s notable this is not fresh, first sip was sourish and not so pleasant but others were really nice, ranging between bitter, sourish and sweet. Pretty full bodied, finishing with honey flavor leaving on the palate for long time. Nice ale, much better than many higher rated.

Golden of color with a white head. An aroma with notes of malt, corn, spice, melon and sweets. A flavor with notes of spice, malt, sweets and fruity.
