4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - MAR 2, 2009
Pours a hazy deep orange with a huge foamy head that stay a long time and quite a nice amount of foam stay until the end. Aroma is of fruity malts. Flavors are dry and fruity with good malts some vanillas and brown sugars, bitter and a little sweet and sour but very well balanced. Very very good beer, I love the whole Maredsous family.

On the orange side of amber with a foaming white crest. Home to an acidic grapefruit nose with a light hoppiness. In the mouth it provides tight fruit flavours along with malt notes arising slowly. A strangely sterile finish. Thin but smoth and nicely carbonated. Boozy but a very pleasant beer.

Pours gold into a Trappist glass. Bright white head slowly recedes to coat surface. Crisp and hoppy upfront, turning fruity, yeasty and boozy. Taste similar to a white wine. Lasting hop finish. Very nice.
