I wasn’t overly impressed with this one. It was good right out of the fridge when it was nice and cold, as it warmed it’s flavor started to lack. When it was completely warm, however, it was delicious. I drank it slow because I didn’t think it was that awesome. It has a lemony zest. I almost felt like I should have been drinking on the beach in Mexico. Very interesting beer.

Bright orange in colour with tall white head. Clove and corriander aroma. Big clove/spicey/pepper flavours. Short peppery mouthfeel.

Golden without much sediment, foamy head but not much lacing. Aroma is estery, some fruit and a bit of spicy hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, spicy with some warm alcohol. Finely effervescent. Slight bitter hops on aftertaste.

Very golden orange with a very tall head. Very yeasty aroma with strong golden malt, wheat, orange, grapefruits, honey. Very fruity, with lots of citrus, rather sweet indeed, with honey; strong. Strong Belgian yeast character. Good balanced dryness, too, though, from hops and more so yeast and sour touch. Brilliant, sparking, very well balanced. To name a fault, it is a little too sweet and honey-like, maybe.

Hmmm....not a huge fan. A bit out of balance i guess. Corn sugar, malt, caramel nose. Notes of orange peel, kind of foamy. Weird, bitter finish. Very grainy. bluh.

hazy golden with a pretty short lived head for the style. typical phenols and esters, malt, fruity, bit of apple maybe. nice dry palate, that prevents the esters from being sickly. pretty good.

Pours hazy golden orange with a nice white head. Nose is typical of unibroue beers, quite estery and phenolic, with obvious wheat characters coming through aswell. Palate translates well, perhaps a touch overcarbonated? Significant banana, mild lemon and spice notes coming through with some zesty wheat and perhaps some sweet pils malt? Overall quite well balanced and unmistakably unibroue, which is a good thing!

Aroma is lightly fruity with hints of yeast. Flavor is crisp and fruity, with a lingering pucker on the back of the tongue. A good Belgian strong overall.
