A nice beer, but not really to my tastes. Like the others from the brewery, exceptionally made in the Belgian style, but I find the spicyness a little too overpowering, much as I do with the Unibroue beers. A beer I’d recommend to others but not buy again myself.

Bought a bottle from a liquor store very close to the brewery! Aroma: Wow! Very fruity slightly hoppy, yeasty! Appearance: amber, sparkling, frothy, tan foam, nice Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitter, hoppy, nice! Palate: full body, lively, bitter, long finish, very nice aftertaste! Overall: WoW! Im not taht fond of Ij but this one is good, fruity hoppy, not to much yeast and a 9%! Heavy good stuff, reminds me of some IPA’s!

Currently drinking while typing. Once poured you get rising scents of booze, orange, guava, other various exotic fruits, savoury spices and malts. It’s a pretty looking beer with a gorgeous fiery orange almost rusty colour vessel that has a well sustained off white soft creamy head perched on top. A very nice taste that reminds me almost of Leffe, full of nice malts, cereal, citrus fruit, mango, bubblegum and a nice lasting toasty cereal note in the aftertaste. Nice feel in the mouth, neither thin nor thick but with a good carbonation that makes it feel full enough for the style. Good beer which gives you a nice surprise, worth trying!

(bottle) instant gusher. pours a very murky golden-orange colour with a billowing off-white head and some floaties. aroma of grapefruit and lime, slightly perfumed, with some sharp notes of pepper and hints of mango and summer foliage. flavour is mostly wheat and caramel, only slightly citric, with a slightly alcoholic, herbal finish. heavy-bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottled at Zly casy in Prague.small head,aromas of honey,apples,pears and hay.Very cloudy,honey like color.Tastes of honey,grass,floral,citrus,leather,bananas,cough drops,rotten eggs.Enough can not be said about the flavor.very bitter for its style.Enjoyed it.

Wonderful beer which basis looks a lot like old fashioned abbey triple only to find a surprise in a wonderful exotic flavor of mango. It is a thick orange beer with a nice soft side to it.

Bottle from Bierzwerg web shop. Hazy amber colour with huge long lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, strawberries, honey. Taste, yeast, apple, berries, alcohol. Sour bitter finish. Good.

Orangish brown coloration. Medium white head. Potent spicy aroma compliments the first sip of this thick, alocholic, dark fruit beer.

Pours an opaque dark orange with a large amount of head. Aroma of malts, clove, fruit. Medium bodied. Taste is notably sour. Very tasty beer.
