Bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow-orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, light pale malts. Flavor of bitter hops, pale malts, stale cardboard, perhaps a hint of sweet fruits. Light and crisp. Not overly hopped but there is a nice, subtle hop presence (mostly in the form of bitter hops). A pretty tasty hopped BSA. 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

popephred (244) - Plainfield, Illinois, USA - JUL 2, 2010
Poured from the bottle into my Samuel Adams glass. Pour produced a cloudy, wheat-colored body, topped by a small white head of white foam, which stayed active. Also, loads of floaty bits. Smells like a freshly baked loaf of bread, with light spice and hopping. Full-bodied taste, with a sweetness to it and a lightly bitter aftertaste. Pulling back on my scores due to the fact that the hops profile is not a assertive as advertised. In fact on the label it refers itself as an attempt at an IPA, which it fails miserably. Nevertheless, this is a good warming ale, though overall, the contrasting aftertaste (and major floaty bits) kind of puts me off of this particular brew.

Trevlig gulfärg och mycket skum hade den. Den doftar hyfsat fruktig och så den där typiska belgiska lite obestämliga, men ack så goda doften. Ölen är ganska lätt, fina inslag äv gula frukter och en del äpplen. Den har även mycket humle, en liten beska och i det stora hela en mycket trevlig blond. Passar nog även bättre i solväggen om sommaren.

eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - JUN 21, 2010
Pours a hazy staw yellow with a nice thick white head. Aroma of yeast and hops, citrus, straw and spices. Flavors of sweet hops, malts, caramels, yeast, peaches, and spices. Good carbonation, sweet and bitter dry. Nice hoppy bitter finish, and long alcohol feel. Nice strong flavors, quite warm brew, and very enjoyable.

rosenbergh (3145) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 18, 2010
330 ml bottle. From Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Golden colour with average creamy white head. Lots of sediment. Caramel sweetness and tea-like fruity hoppy aroma. Tempting hoppy aroma. Fruity bitter hops, caramel sweetness and lots of alcohol in flavour. Alcohol warms like hell. Smooth. This ain’t "superieur hoppig" by today’s standards. By American standards this ain’t hoppig at all. Balanced though.
