3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Pours a clear light golden with tons of tiny bubbles racing from the bottom of the glass to form an impressive white head composed of rather large bubbles that craters as it goes down. This beer also has a bit of sediment floating around in it. The beer has an aroma of sweet hops, florals and molasses. This is an interesting tasting beer. It definitely has a bit of hop to it, but more than that it is just a very strong flavored belgian styled ale. In my opinion, this beer could use just a bit more hops to help cut the sweetness, but I really like hops. Overall, this beer has a lot of good flavor and is easy to drink. For someone looking for a hoppy belgian that is a bit more belgian than hoppy this is a good bet.

Ciekawa etykieta. Po prostu piwo bardzo dobrej jakosci.

Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a frothy sticky white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and some yeast esthers. Taste is brown sugar, spicy yeast, caramel and yeast. A very smooth beer for 9.5 percent, excellent belgian strong.

One of my favourite beers ever. Looks great with a decorated glass, golden colour and big fluffy head that simply does not disappear. Smells of hops, at least two; one citrus and one spicy. Some yeasty sweetness as well. Maybe malts, but hops dominate. Taste is fresh with hops, fruits, citrus and some bread. Bitterness swells towards the aftertaste that ends dry and hoppy. Impressive that the hops are so distinguishable, given the high volume of alcohol (that was completely hidden by the way). What a delight.

Tasted 3 months ago, and, damn, i can’t remember the details. But it was good. Hops, spices, alcohol. Dry and lively. Need to re-reate properly though.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle - finally got around to reviewing this one after having sampled it numerous times but never in a session. This brew rocks. Light hazed gold. Big puffy white cap lasts.. Nobel hop aroma with plenty of bready malts and a hint of yeasty Belgian funk. It’s only ale characteristic is a little sharpness in the front, other than that it’s really rounded and full bodied with a balanced profile. Flavor is that of a big hoppy lager with a rich finish and a nice hop bite. Totally hides its strength.. Sessioning this is dangerous.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma and taste is yeast, malt, sweetness, and some hops. Expected more on the hops since it is called hop-it, tastes more like a regular belgian blonde.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light yellow body, small cap. Very yeasty aroma, hay, banana, lemon, ans a mild funk. Taste seems harsh and grassy, lemon, vanilla. To much perfume. Meh at best with my mode today.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle. - Enjoyable for bitter caramel strong ale. Caramelised lighter fruits (apricot, white grape) meet spicy hops, generous B ale foam. Nice, broadly balanced feat for the wallop this is.
Yet, always a bit of a shame to see, smell an taste a beer that features "hop" prominently on the label behave like a fruity amped up tripel - the curse of the sweet Belgian palate and yeast that will swallow and overpower any natural quality (EU) hops that comes in its way. Not easy and guiltless drinking, each sip reminding you of the calories it must pack... Same transatlantic category, but smoother: Victory Golden Monkey.
