Yeasty malt aroma. Hazy straw color. Very intense sweet flavor that dissipates fast. Some fruit notes, light color ones like peaches and pears. Light grainy, bread notes with a touch of hop zest. This gives the beer a crisp somewhat dry finish. Very drinkable. Very good just not that wow factor.

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle: Dark straw, quite hazy, large rocky off-white head, spotty lacing. Barnish nose, a little sock, some astringent straw/hay. Not as floral as I would have thought. Barnish musty grassiness on the
tongue. Dry, without much sweetness at all. Hmmm, I was expecting something more floral sweet. It has this musty astringency that just doesn’t sit well with me. Moderate to full body and mouthfeel. Has a
bit of a plastic like aroma and flavor on the finish. This one just does not work for me. Not floral or sweet enough.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle bought at Systembolaget.
Cloudy orange, the white foam was not the world’s most beautiful.
The aroma was quite fresh, green apples, yeast, straw, and a bit "detergent". The taste was a "typical Belgian taste" fruit, "detergent" and yeast. Aftertaste was long and dry. Refreshing and easy to drink despite the relatively high alcohol content.

Dec 27, 2009 Corked bottle. Pale golden color. Melon, pineapple and lemon in the strong aroma. Loads of tropical fruit and flowers in the somewhat tart, slightly alcoholic flavor. Hints of pepper. The fruit and pepper linger on in the aftertaste. Well balanced, tasty yet sticky beer.
