Orangy gold colour with frothy off white head. Spicy, with a touch of alcohol showing through.rather dry bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Have had this several times, but never really paid much attention to it. With all the talk lately about this mysterious beer, I decided to give it another shot and find out why everyone goes apeshit about it. It pours a nice orange/bronze color and smells fabulous. The flavor is very hoppy, bitter and finishes extremely dry. Its definitely an interesting, well crafted beer, but for the life of me, I dont get why people get their feathers all ruffled about this beer.

Orange copper look with a thick white head. You could smell the hops, grains and a hint of citrus. A tough beer to describe but a good one to drink.

Cloudy orange coloured with very lively off white head. Almost looks like a wheat beer. Very orangy-citrus nose with lots of yeast and a hit of scrumpy apple. Complex and subtle interplay of flavours - the full range of citrus from grapefruit through lemon and hints of lime to orange, both sweet and bitter; grainy malt perfectly balanced by a complex hop character; hints of vanilla at the edges. High carbonation makes it lively on the palate.

Bottle pours hazy orange/copper with thick off white head. Aroma is sweet citrus. First taste is slight sweetness, then a citrus bitterness balances out very well. Very high carbonation and watery mouthfeel. Unlike other belgians I have had but very good. Kind of like a belgian wit but no yeast or bread aromas or flavors. Better than the westy blond.

A unique Trappist with an orange/amber color, lacy white head, and tastes of citrus/orange and coriander. Medium mouth. Good bitter finish. Mellows slightly with age if kept well. Very nice.
