Body is lightly medium with a soft carbonation, somewhat tart on the palate, crisp. Medium sweet maltiness, toasty, fruity flavors, citrus, pear and maybe a bit melony? Spicey, clove, peppery. Finish is almost dry, fruity and nicely lasting. Bottled, enjoyed @ state line liquors last Belgian tasting, thanks Robert!!

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a large long lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of citrus, black pepper, yeast spice, and floral hops. Taste is spicy and peppery with notes of citrus, sweet malt, and earthy hops. Kind of like a mix between a Tripel and a Saison. A very enjoyable brew.

after watching chelsea draw and Man Utd win going 5 points ahead, this beer was the celebration, and it fitted beautifully!!! Pours a light gold haze... low head ring with some lacing...very uplifting spritzy honey like smell...The style tastes like a trippel and saison mixed together...a nice bitterness level is there too..overall a beautifully made beer that i can see having again! light enough for any occasion but still has the guff to stand to the challenge...

750ml - 2006 - Aroma is funky yeast, lemon, bublegum and is a little flowery. Pours slightly cloudy yellow with a brown tint. The initial big head quickly fades to a constant small one leaving great lacing. Flavor is very bready yeast, corainder, white pepper and a touch of citrus. Palate is smooth and crreamy. Very refreshing and tasty.

Bottle. Large fizzy whit head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacing. Cloudy light amber color. Yeast, spice, citrus, coriander, pepper, caramel, light liquorish. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Alcohol can also be felt. Flavor was malt sweetness with some bitterness and hint of spice mixed in the bitterness. Light acidic finish. Quit nice.

Bouteille. Arome d’épices, d’agrumes, de malt. Couleur orangée, mousse dense et collant aux parois du verre. Goût complexe d’épices, d’agrumes, de levure, de malt, d’alcool, le tout bien équilibré. Corps plein, effervescence moyenne à forte. Excellente.
