Had it on tap in Paris at Vieux Chene and Mayflower, and in bottles from Monoprix. This one delicious beer. Sometimes you are lucky and it tastes like Fruity Pebbles.

Shared 75cl. green bottle at a group tasting event. Have seen a few of these bottles near top shelves exposed to a lot of store lighting, so I was somewhat worried at first. Poured a hazed, straw/light golden hue, with lasting, small bubbled, white head foam, and waves & spots of lacing. The aroma was light yeast, soft grain, citrusy/lemon, light fruit, and a touch of spice. The flavor added to these, light sweetness, a little tartness, and pleasant, but softer carbonation than I would have expected. Panic averted, and a very flavorful brew.

big boy bottle - pours honey in color and cloudy with lots of white head. Aroma is fruity and roasty. Reminds me of some pastoral scene. long finish. Tastes a little sweet. Aftertaste is a tad stale, making me wish I was coupling this with some food.

Hazy golden with a big off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, yeasty and spicy. Flavor is medium sweet. Dry and spicy finish with a little alcohol. Nice and complex tripel. 070909

Same bottle as pictured poured into Karmeliet Tulip. Amazing floral notes with a little citrus with some grian. Taste is very similar. Mostly yeasty and floral. Excellent beer. I hope to try again soon.

On tap (purchased in Vegas). My favorite beer for cheese pairing, great mouthfeel and spicy/strong taste.

Corked bottle from Knightly Spirits! Nice brew indeed, as I have long wanted to try this brew. Poured a nice golden amber color with a lot of huge white head. Nose was full of yeast and wheat/grain with citrus. Taste was yeast/fruit heavy. I like this one a lot. My buddy got a skunky bottle and this bottle changed his mind on the beer.

I had passed by this beer many many times until I came across it on here and realized it was a well reviewed, highly rated beer. How could I miss out? The beer poured a hazy golden color with a fluffy, bubbly white head. Aroma is full of yeast, fruit notes, spices, grain, banana seem to be one note that took me a moment to catch on to. Flavor is great! Fruits, spices, notes of booze. Woah! I’m getting this one often.
