Bouteille de 355ml. Merci Patrick. Bière blonde dorée à la manière d’une pils avec une mousse blanche crémeuse. Le nez est fort invitant avec ses arômes de houblon noble, d’agrumes, d’épices et une touche rustique. La bouche est sèche, rustique avec des houblons nobles. La finale offre une belle amertume. Très agréable, facile.

UPDATED: MAY 9, 2013 Cloudy, light orange two finger creamy thick white head not a ton of lacing. Aroma is spicy, floral earth hops upfront, followed by bready malt, coriander and typical Belgian yeast fruityness an phenolics. Spicy hop, Brady malt and fruity phenolic yeast up front, more earthy hop and more beady malt and fruity yeast mid mouth, spicy, earth hop, fruity yeast linger. High carbonation, medium body, bit of spicy hop bite, no alcohol effect. Overall excellent, probably a little hoppy for style, but I love it! Drinks like a thinner, less sweet tripel, and that is working in this beer. It is in the rotation for sure!

Une robe orangée et sa tête comme une montagne éternelle. Une dentelle tissée par un artisan. Des parfums de coriandre et de pâte à pain dans lesquelles poussent des notes fruitées très intéressantes. Des saveurs appréciables. Des oranges. Des épices belges. Du poivre blanc. Des herbes légèrement grasses. Une sensation houblonnée assez agréable. En bouche, un corps de moyenne densité avec un bon pétillement et une texture crémeuse. Une finale modérément sèche avec des houblons parfumés et des épices bien senties. Cette bière est bien adorable avec ses capacités houblonnées et son caractère épicé. En fait, il est bien difficile de ne pas reconnaître que cette offrande est très facile à boire, savoureuse et pleine de bonne volonté.

Pours cloudy dark straw with a large foam off white head. Looks like a wheat beer. Aroma is wheat and yeast. Bitter. Smooth start of gentle floral hops, sweet into bitter wheatish hops. Good and so smooth.

Has a good flavor just extremely hoppy. Hops is a little overpowering for my tastes. Just a 1 time try if you don’t like beer that has a hoppy taste then don’t try.

Pours light amber gold with a yeasty funky nose. Long lasting lace. Good amount of sweet malts and tropical fruit flavours balanced with very american flavoured hops.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thick frothy head. Aroma reveals bright citrus dominated by oranges. Taste is crisp and sharp citrus with a bitter and clean finish. A touch of sour notes due to citrus. Also a touch of caramel from the malt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a golden copper with huge off-white head. Aroma is slightly fruity with a strong scent of Belgian yeast. Taste is herbal flavors, sweet malt, and rich yeast. Not bad.

Presentation: 12 oz. brown bottle with bottling date and "best by" date printed on the neck. Served in an oversized wine glass. Appearance: Deep, gold color with a slight orange tint. White 2 finger head that dies out rather quickly. Lacing is not that great. Smell: It’s an herbal, musky smell. With a distinct malt sweetness plus a yeast hint. Taste: Very full and herbal flavor that balances out really well with the sweetness from the malt and the perfect hop bitterness note. Mouthfeel: Feels dry and doesn’t have that much carbonation. It goes down smooth, and is fairly drinkable. Overall: Refreshing and easy to drink. It has just enough complexity to be interesting but not overwhelming. A very nice American attempt that stacks up nicely against the Belgians. It doesn’t quite trump them, but it’s still a great brew.

Poured for a bottle into a tulip glass, Strog head with excellent retention. Pale orange in color. Stiff foamy peaks. Slight fruity aroma, not overpowering though. Pleasant enough tasting. Somewhat typical for a pale ale. Mout hfeel is a little too rough for my taste. very pleasant finish though. A very good beer but wouldn’t be my first choice to have again.
