Bottle. Pours cloudy gold. White head. Nose and taste of yeast, lemon, apple and light breads. Taste has some sheet metal notes in it, which is a bit off putting. Could be a bad bottle? Medium body.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
{thoughts} Strikingly similar to Duvel, except for a citrus rind addition.
{elements} Hazy, peach hue; very tall, white foam. Duvel-like pilsner malt and banana aroma with an addition of citrus. Moderate sweetness, moderate acidity, light-moderate bitterness; acidity and carbonation play down the sweetness, making it seem fairly dry. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, creamy texture.

Refreshing. soapy and citrus-like aroma. Very much like tripel. Palate is dry. Flavour has citrus too and it is rather close to Duvel. Pleasant, but does not reach the top.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden colour, firm white head. Aroma malty, light hoppy, quite pronounced yeast. Vanilla, apricot, some white pepper. Flavour malty, apricot, quite sweet. Pleasant bitterness coming through. I quite like this one!
Though I’m taking into account that part of the appeal might be that this beer was my break from Jupiler and Dommelsch @ Rock Werchter.
