DSG (997), Yuvalim, Israel Apr 1, 2008 (3/17/08) Bottle at De Wildeman in Amsterdam. Golden color with floaties and a medium white head that falls pretty quick. Aroma of hops, some citrus and some yeast. Sweetish flavor with some malt, lots of hops, fruits and some yeast notes. Medium-bodied. Quite nice.
stefanje (607), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA Nov 28, 2008 750ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a big sudsy white head that has good retention and leaves plenty of lacing. The aroma has classic Belgian yeasts in the forefront with fruity esters and floral notes. The flavor is hoppy, but not overtly biter, and there are fruits, nuts and spices rounding out the sides and a touch of sour on the back end. The mouthfeel is medium with a good malt backbone, and the carbonation is very lively and prickly. Overall: I bought this not knowing what to expect and its not bad, but not great either. I probably won’t be purchasing this again with so many other good beer options available. RIXbeer (102), USA Nov 28, 2008 The cork comes off with a nice crisp pop. Pours a lively pale yellow, highly carbonated brew with a 2 finger, fluffy head that seems to take its time dissipating as it leaves a ton of lace in its’ wake. I will let it sit a moment. No need to rush it. A zesty, spicy brilliance that can has pineapple and apricot blended softly with a hint of lemon and/or lime in the midst of this floral masterpiece. Nice light zingy spiciness with a nice lively dance of carbonation on the is a long lasting flavor that is both floral and slightly bitter at the same time. Nicely balanced with really good flavor definitions. You can taste The fruity/bitter aftertaste help convince me of the full body of this beer. Fills every inch with a really nice feeling of drinking a good full beer. This beer is drinkable in the sense that it is delicious. With every sip you are reminded that this one is not for the faint of heart at 9.5%ABV. This beer puts many Triples and Goldens to shame. plovmand (773), Helsinge, Denmark Nov 27, 2008 Bottle.
