White head but hazy golden color. Aroma of sugar and fruit. First taste is a bit hoppy but the finish is quite heavy for a hop beer. Too much taste of alcohol.

I think this may be the Triple hop with a different label. Maybe not because the ratings on Triple hop are pretty low and this tastes better than those ratings. like this better than Piraat because of the hops. A little funk in the aroma. Slick mouth feel. Real nice.

33 cl. bottle @ home, gift from my parents and Luc & Kim. Deep golden with a big white head. Aroma is fruity and light citrussy but not as hoppy as one would havve thought, considering the name. Taste is candy suger with some fruity and floral notes. Slight alcohol burn. Not impressive but enjoyable nonetheless

Bottle. Hazy gold with a large head. Aromas are candy sugar and white grape with gooseberry. Toast with woody notes and blackberry. Flavours are yeasty with boozy alcohol and toasted malts. Lemon and apricot with gooseberry and woody, peppery notes. Nice.

Aroma ofcourse hoppy Nd a bit fruity. Nice orange/golden colour with a lot of carbonation. Medium white head. Long bitter aftertaste. Nothing special.

Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur très légèrement ambrée, nombreux flocons en suspension, mousse moyenne de tenue moyenne. Un nez saisissant exhalant des odeurs de houblon frais. Houblon que l’on retrouve à la mise en bouche avec un également des notes de malts grillés, malheureusement, la trop forte teneur en sucre est rédhibitoire.Carbonnation et longueur moyennes. Trouvée à Lidl - Montigny en Gohelles.

2012 - 03 - 26 330ml bottle. orange golden colour. big, fading to medium, white head. herbs in aroma. light bittere taste

Golden/amber colour, medium whute head, bitter pineapple hoppy peppery smell, high carbonation, hoppy warm soft pepper taste,

330 ml stubby bottle, part of a six different Van Steenberge beers pack, bought at Lidl. Poured into a tulip glass. ABV 10.5% Deep orange copper colour on the body, with nice activity in it. Tall, soapy head, snow white in colour, with very good retention and heavy lacing left around the glass. Aroma is a bit stinky, but nothing too offfensive. Citrus aromas, grapefruit, yeast, sugars, apricot, some florar notes as well. If they could get rid maybe half of them, aroma would have been much more appealing. Taste is much better, fruity and refreshing. Moderately sweet at first, with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Quite fruity taste, with citrus and apricots. The high ABV very well hidden. Nice thick body, good amount of carbonation. Very dry on the palate. Good beer, although it seems to struggle to find a personality. Appearance of a belgian strong ale, aroma IPA-wannabe, taste that reminded me of a tripel. Once they decide what are they going for, this could be top class.
