2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Thank you MadsNp. Pours unclear orange with a small bubbly head. Nose is dust, yeast and manuer (Typical t’IJ) Flavor is fruit, vegetables and dust.

Bottle: deep golden, cloudy, some floaties visible, persistent and lacy off-white foam; malty-sweetish and "oaky"-sourish nose with a light tinge of hops; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied; gets a bit drier in the hoppy-oaky and sourish-yeasty finish. Well made stuff......

Draft @ wildeman. Nose is lightly tart with loads of spicy, slightly alcoholic yeasty esters. Flavor starts with a little crystal sugar and yeast, then a punch of slightly bitter tropical fruits (mango/pineapple) and quite a dry finish for the style. High carbonation dries the flavors out a bit. A good one and interesting, though not overly remarkable.

Very smooth and simple Triple.
Now, this reminds, really reminds me of their Columbus, lots of similar flavors. Unfortunately I don’t have them both with me so I can’t verify that.
This is sweet, sugary, caramel(y), filled with honey and malts. Drinking this to me is like enjoying a tall glass of honey, the amber color, the smell, the taste, all reflect back to that.
I love honey flavored beers, so my review will reflect that.

7th May 2008. Highly aromatic cloudy amber/blonde beer. Smooth with strong caraway - just a hint of fruit coming through in the finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had this on tap at the brewpub, Amsterdam, 27th Oct 2009 Pours a warm yellow colour, quite hazy with a white clingy head. This is spicy sweet with a nice warmth from the alcohol and also with a slight numbness from the alcohol, there is also a nice sweet honeyness. I’ve had six great beers from this brewery, really lovely day here. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov14 3.7
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
27/10/2009. 330ml bottle from Beerstore. Hazy pale gold. Throws a little jellied citrus fruit on the nose with an underlying herbal alcohol character. Sulphur sneaks a peek. Head fades but laces well. Simple in the mouth, similar to what I expected given the nose but sulphur on the palate detracts even more so than it did on the nose. Agh... if I wasn’t doing my GST return I’m not sure I would have kept drinking this. Somehow the acrid sulphurous yeast character balanced the bitterness of parting with cash that I should have never have received in the first place. Thumbs down.

One of the best non-Belgian Belgian ales I’ve come across. Not my favourite style but a great beer. Huge flavour.
