Pours a cloudy straw golden yellow with a big white frothy head. Aroma is hay, sweet candi sugar and honey. Taste is somewhat grainy and well carbed. A slightly on the sweet side with a nice dry palate wipe.

750ml, very fresh, corked and caged. Nose sweet with honey pale malt and a wallop of sweet candis, some orange peel and spice. Some vanilla and a really airy quality about it at times, some mineral and fruit, but more playing up that candi. Pours orange-golden with a scant white head. Medium body, light bitterness with probably a touch too much sweetness, aftertaste is an herbal-spicy load that isn’t aggressive or hot or prickly, but herbal-spicy nonetheless. Honey and yeast. Alcohol well-integrated, a little oily and flattish. For its odd choices, is still spritely and gregarious, and still packs the cheerful sunshine.

Clear golden colour, diminishing white head. Fruity aroma, yeast, malts, light butter. Sweet flavour, raisins, malts. Sweet malty finish, some yeast.
(From 75cL bottle @ ZZT VII, Oirschot 2013. Thanks for sharing, joes!)

Poured opaque light gold, with a small, foamy head. Aroma of citrus and tropical fruits. Taste is bread, pineapple, and a little bit of banana with a little sweetness on the finish.

750ml bottle courtesy of Luc. Hazy yellow with a thin slightl off white head. Buckwheat honey, fresh corriander, alcohol, yeast, definitely candied sugar of the Liegge variety. Moderate body and somewhat high carbonation, sweet but fresh, alcohol comes out a little too much at the end but nice.

Bottle @ ZZT VII, thx to everyone for sharing their bottles. Aroma of pilsner malt. Hint of faint flowery hops. Butter. Just as it is hard for Belgian brewers to make a typical American IPA, it is tough for Americans to make a decent Belgian style. Too much spices and yeast esters.
