UPDATED: DEC 8, 2011 Ruikt naar frisse peren en appelmoes, hoog opstaande stevige kraag. Smaak is tevens fris, met rokerige, bijna bittere afdronk. Weinig zoet, ondanks de toegevoegde kandijsuiker.

Ultra dependable, available almost everywhere in Belgium and still one of the best beers in the world. Amber orange with white frothy head of small bubbles. Aroma is funky brett. yeast, herbal, doughy. Beautiful taste, always finding something new in there after having it so many times. Spritzy, crisp and delicious. I can’t describe why it’s great, but it just is.

A wonderfully complex Belgian Ale. At first sip, I didn’t know what to make of it, or if I even really liked it...but as the beer started to open up, It quickly became one of my favorites. Very nice beer, with a unique finish. Dough and fresh bread scents.

Bottle in Rome, Italy; 05/05/2011. Pour is a cloudy, orange, bubbly haze with a nice thick head. For me the nose is overwhelmingly a lightly citrus bubblegum that is very sweet. A good swirl gives it some deeper, grassier characteristics. Taste is a sweet, slightly sour citrus bubble gum with the a slight bitter taste that lingers nicely. A fantastic mouthfeel, one of my favorites. Really the main thing that sticks with me for this beer is the tangy bubblegum and in a good way. I am new to the world of beer having just started trying many different types of beer over the past year or so and this is definitely one of the best I have had. A truly great beer.

Murky red/amber, large fluffy head.
Smells malt fruit, caramel.
Caramel balance burnt malts and hops. Almost Vienna like.
Quite thin, carbonated.
Lovely but could have more depth or intensity.
