25/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: 14/VI/13 (2012-1175)

Clear orange to amber beer, big fluffy irregular head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit fruity, lots of oranges, bit sweet, some citrus, little soapy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: orange peel, lots of it! Little bit of caramel, fudge, but not really sweet, buttered whole grain toast, some citrus. Aftertaste: citric hops, some caramel, orange peel, little bitter. Ok, but not as good as the other beers from this brewery I had before.

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, mid sized head. Caramelly nose. Sweet with medium body. Cushiony soft with mild caramel and marzipan. Mellow salty finish. Harmonious.

(Draught@One Pint Pub, Helsinki) Very hazy darkish amber with a small, creamy and lasting head. Quite fruity and yeasty aroma with slight vegetably hints. Smoothly fruity flavor with caramely maltiness and yeast, plus - again - some vegetables, diacetyl, and ashy hints. A slightly unclean, but fruity and otherwise ok Belgian ale.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, pours a frothy golden orange with a malty fruit and caramel aroma, flavors are malty pineapple poured over a dreamsicle, nice

Clear amber coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a large off-white head. Fuirty light malty enjoyfull aroma. Full palate. FInish is light malty, bitter sweet fruity with a complete ending. Very nice balanced.

Keg (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009)
Turbid, quite offputting, brief head. Quite sweet grainy and roasty aroma. Lovely full palate, thick, sweet, fruity, and malty. Very pleasant, well balanced. Would like to try it slightly further away from the dregs at the bottom of the keg.

Bottled@Tuulensuu, Tampere. Goldeny amber colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, mild herbs, fruits, mild rubber as well as some mild yeastyness. Flavour is mild glueish sweetness, some earth, melted rubber, alcohol as well as some herbal notes.

On tap at One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Hazy amber-copper colour with a smallcreamy head. Fruity hop nose. Caramel and solid, but almost a bit harsh bitterness. Very bitter, but lacks a bit sophistication.
