NorCal tasting Jan 07 - I was waiting on this one to come around and it did not disappoint. An aroma of burnt toast, raisins, sweet and fruity malts abound. Appearance was golden orange in color. Mouthfeel was very spritzy and lively. Flavors were sweet fruits, yeast, some toasted cracker...very nice.

On tap at Loosje. A very creamy, powerful ale. Orange flavor and orange color. Tastes of honey, peachy and very spicy, w/ coriander taste.

Huge off-white head of fine bubbles. Lots of carbonation. Reduces to a rocky foamy clump. Sweet orange aroma with apricots and spices. Lots of fruit and yeast and spices. Smells more like a belgian triple. Color is a hazy dark orange. Fizzy in the mouth with lots of spice and yeast. More fruit. Little tart and dry at the finish. An ok belgian but not all that great in comparison.

Heavy, strong yet refreshing, with the typical ’t Ij spice - very prominent coriander. Looks opaque and thick - it feels very opaque and thick on the palate too, with a heavy & full body. Nice and hoppy with an in-your-face taste & aroma - dry, piney and yeasty. Overall bold & strong. Nice one.

Thick head on a dark golden coloured body. I drank it a a Dutch beer tasting, after a couple of less interesting brews, and I must admit it took me by surprise. Surprisingly good, although quite yeasty and strong, but I’d love to get drunk on it. Very enjoyable indeed.
