Hazy golden color with yeast particles with a really thick and foamy white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dried fruit, flowers, soap and brown sugar. Complex rich flavor of spices, yasmin, orange, chocolate and fruit in liquor. Sweet and fruity finish with a sting of alcohol.

Brewed in Belgium !!! Pours a hazy yellow color with a super foamy white head. Aroma of sweet malts, bananas, citrus, and spices. The taste is of spices, pepper, fruits, and dough. Mouthfeel is sticky and frizzy with some nice carbonation. There is however some alcohol burn at the finish..... :)

A: Golden blond somewhat cloudy with a very thick head, lingers for some time even. S: Smell is Pilsner like; lightly fruity w/basement aromas. T: Lively, lots of fizz. Fruity taste is hidden, the alcohol is present. M: Tingles the tongue, refreshing in taste. D: If you favor a blond Ale (Pilsner even) this is you brew. I tend to stick primarily to the Strong Dark Pale Ales. Overall Impression: Better than average Beer overall; below average for an Belgium trappist.

Bottle at Pub Italia in Ottawa. Pours an orangey-yellow with a nice foamy head. Smell is a wash of citrus. Deep orange-citrus taste, with a hint of spice, reminds you of a prototypical witbier, but has a definite ale-like character. Finish is quick and maybe a little too thin, though the head adds dimension. Hoegaarden on ‘roids.

thick creamy white head, golden colour. Aroma is spicy, orange? Flavour is spicy with distinct notes of orange and yeast, surprisingly light considering the ABV.
