Bottle. Pours a hazy very pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweet spicy yeasty aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweet malty yeasty and slightly spicy bitter hoppy flavor. Yeasty malty and slightly spicy finish with a bitter aftertaste.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Flakey golden, thick white head. Alcoholic, delicate fruity aroma, not that much hops. Reminds me of La Chouffe. Flavor is much in the same vein; fruits, stronger hops, sweet malts, yeast, clean grapefruit bitterness. Nothing extreme, nor too exciting. Medium to full bodied, smooth strongly carbonated palate.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottled (BB 2013)
Hazy orange color, huge brown-yellow head. Fruits, hops and smoked ham (!) in the nose. Crisp citrusy and fruity hoppy flavor. Alcohol is quite present. Some cream cracker breadyness and odd yeasty flavors. Someway I can imagine smokey notes also in the flavor. Strange, not easily rateable IPA.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Blonde, very cloudy. Pours and enormous frothy head. Vanilla, citrus and flowery hops in the aroma. Vanilla yeasty flavor with warming alcohol, traubenzucker and citrus. The very first signs of an infection? Maybe. Yeasty aftertaste, mint. In spite of its flaws, I like this beer.

Jul 4, 2008 33 cl bottle from Le Vaudree II, Liege: poured cloudy yellow with a huge rocky off white head. Big yeast and herbaceous hop aroma. ome barnyard notes. Taste is very yeasty with light citrusy hops and massive bitterness. This is not an American DIPA if that’s what you’re looking for..
