Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a huge white foamy head. Aroma of hops, hay and banana. Taste has notes of fruits - especially citrus, hay, yeast and caramel. Full bodied with a fair bit of alcohol in the aftertaste. A bit sour but mostly dominated by the dry bitter hoppy aftertaste. Not bad, but nothing special either.

Draught@Backdoor Café, Gent, pre-ZBF. - Smooth, cultured, finely filtered honey sugar into more Belgian than Belgian smooth triple taste. Mild spiced hops. Obviously well done, but heavy and filling: try having anything else interesting after a presupposing beer and traditional ester bomb like this.

Tap at Gollem, Antwerp. It pours clear golden yellow with a medium white head. The nose is honey, metal, dough, light herbal notes. The taste is smooth, honey, hay, grain, grass, light dough, pithy citrus and spice with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Full body, fine carbonation and viscous mouth-feel. Hides alcohol well. Not a whole lot going on, but surprisingly drinkable.

Bottle @ delirium. Aroma di malto e di uvetta. Visivamente è di un bel dorato ambrato. la schiuma è vaporosa e dal perlage ampio. In bocca ha un corpo pieno e fluido, una bella sensazione calda /alcolica, ma non come altre strong ale. Il Gusto è alcolico, un po’ luppolato (soprattutto nel finale) e con sentori un po’ metallici. Buona, ma non è una strong vera. ha solo l’alcool. La complessità è incomparabile ad altri capolavori belgi.

A pretty Belgian ale. A little too sweet for my tastes, but the beginning of the taste is very well balanced. Some honey, grass, and citrusiness. Pours golden with large head.

1 van de beste Belgische bieren momenteel. Heel mooie kleur, een volle zoete kruidige smaak. Drinkt heel makkelijk, dus opgepast na enkele bieren.

Bottle@home. Yellow clear. One finger foam. Orange and other yellow fruity notes. Bitter almonds. Quite spicy. Dry with a slight sweet finish. The almonds turn me off.

33cl bottle Subtle aroma, bread, citrus, hay. Clear gold blond, two finger frothy head, huge sparkling. Head is lacing and lasting until I finished this one. Starts fruity, citrus, then more hay and bitterness combined with sweetness at last. Dry bitter and alcoholic finish. It’s only in the finish that the 10% appears.

75 cl bought in the brewery malheur. Yellow hazu body with large white head. Spicy and sour aroma. Tastes coriander with a light sour aroma. ****
