Pours hazy light orangish gold with a nice off white head. Aroma is yeasty, wheaty, spicy, with hints of clove. Flavor is nice malty, wheaty flavor, with lots of esters and a little bit of what seems like phenols coming through, banana and clove and the like. Very good.

Pours cloudy golden with a one-finger beige head, fine lasting lacing. Very fruity aroma, banana, mango, with caramel, floral and grass notes. Medium body, zesty and crisp. Spicy flavor, apple, banana, biscuit, grass, and pepper. Earthy and lightly dry finish. Well balanced.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden, with a crazy thick, white head. Aroma of citrus, clove, licorice, and hints of vanilla. Moderate body with a smooth, long finish. Excellent Unibroue.

Bottle - Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. There is a sour note to the aroma which reminds me of fermenting kit wine from my uni days! There is also a hint of citrus. Flavour starts with a flash of a spie which is then replaced witha dry lingering finish. Nice mouthfeel, medium bodied.

Aroma of citrus, lemon, orange and banana. Taste is a full mouthfeel of citrus, cream, orange and yeast. Aftertaste is a little alcohol bite and ends with a dry palate. Very nice belgian. Very enjoyable.

Smells like stale fruit, tastes like a regular run-of-the-mill beer, has an aftertaste that makes saliva build in my mouth like I was about to vomit.

Pours an opaque pastel orange, with a very large off-white head. Aroma is a little sour, with banana, clove, egg white. Flavor initially tastes a lot like an orange julius; orange and cream whip. Then follows a little alcohol, not much, and ends abruptly and dryly. Mouthfeel is a little watery, but spritzy. A little on the diet side of Belgian, but still mildly enjoyable. Overall, good minus.

Bottle 750ml. Aged for 2 years piror to tasting. Poured golden straw with a slight haze and a large, frothy, off-white head which was mostly diminishing. Aroma was of floral hops with sweet yeasty malts, lemon citrus, mandarin, apricots, cinnamon, coriander, hay and light barnyard notes. Flavor was a mild spicy hop bitterness with bready malts, tangy lemon zest, orange peel, green grapes, coriander and light notes of white pepper. Medium bodied with mild carbonation, a dry mouthfeel, slick texture and a long length finish.
