On tap at Malthouse. Pours a nice deep red/brown, thin head. Aroma has plenty of citrusy hops, some dark fruit.
Flavour is quite bitter, grapefruity hops with a bit of toasted malt, thin body. A good hoppy beer, nothing Belgian about it though, so the name is confusing.

(On tap) Clear, dark copper with a small, rough, off-white head leaving some laces. Fat, peachy hop aroma. Medium body with sweetish caramel and honey with lots of peaches and tropical fruits before a dry and hoppy finish. Very well made and harmonious beer. But there’s nothing much Belgian about it. 310108 and 060208

Draught at the Cock & Bull in Newmarket (Auckland), settled to a clear brown with a foamy off-white head. A beautiful flowery hop aroma with a good earthy malt background. A good clean and crisp palate, a great flowery and fruity hop flavour with juicy malt. Goes more dry and bitter in the finish. Good enough to drink in pints.

on tap at brewtopia06. i just assumed that this was an ipa, didn’t find any real belgian character. it was still good, though. deep amber colour, aroma of cookie dough and pine, some fresh forest fruits and a pleasantly bitter finish

12 May 2006 (AIBA 2006-Rating 11) - On tap. Big passionfruit, light malt aroma. Brown-red colour, good head and great sheet lacing. Sweet big passionfruit and big fruit flavour. Finishes big on fruit and a nice lingering nicely balanced aftertaste.

On tap at the Malthouse in Wellington. Not sure of the genre but comes across like a fruity, hoppy pale ale, something you might see in the US. Dark amber, almost vienna lager like in appearance. Very mild nose with faint estery fruity notes. Fruits and hops to taste, a little offbeat but I can’t put my finger on why this is so. Classy and well built.
