Bottle 33cl. Big white long lasting head. Amber colour. Typical sweet aroma from Belgian ale (even thoough it is a Dutch beer). Taste is also sweet, citrus with some bitterness. You can sense the strength of the beer, but to me a beer being this strong should taste more and longer.

12 oz bottle. Pours light amber in colour, huge frothy head. Aroma and taste are sweet and hoppy at the same time, spicy. Good stuff!

caralkaline87 (386) - Washington DC, USA - SEP 2, 2010
Pours golden with a little sediment and a fairly big white head. Nose is weak for the style and mostly a generic fruity sweetness. Flavor is far more complex, thankfully, with a good dose of hops on the front and a bitter-sweet green apple type maltiness on the backside. A little candied sugar shows up over the whole thing, as does some alcohol. Finish is sticky and long-lasting. Quality ale.

33cl bottle. Love the label! Plenty of white foam. Blond beer, slightly hazy (maybe because it’s taken me a few months to get around to drinking it). Nice bitterness

4th March 2010. Pre ZBF. Hazy gold beer, thin white head. Light soft and dry palate. Fresh clean malt with some well balanced citrus hop. Finishes sweet and soft. Really nice!

tderoeck (1179) - BELGIUM - JUL 7, 2010
Pours a slightly clouded yellow beer with a fine creamy white head. Smells like citrus and koriander. Tastes fruity, a little alcoholsweetness, some sourness and a nice bitterness with spices. Aftertaste is very dry and a little acidic. Very well balanced.
