A lightly hazed amber ale with a thick lacing off white head. A rather restrained candi sugar aroma, with light curacao notes. In mouth, a rather simple belgian ale with light curacao, fruity notes, caramel, light hopping and warming alcohol. Decent but non descript for the style. Bieropholie import, BB 28-05-10.

Bottle. Large off-white fizzy, frothy head that mostly diminished, transparent golden body, slow rising carbonation, and excellent lacing. The aroma is malt, yeasty, spicy, fruity, caramel, and a bit earthy. The flavor is sweet, fruity, spicy, the ABV is noticeable, mildly bitter, and a dry finish. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very quaffable beer and one that I would drink again.

Bottled sample via Piscator via boutip. If I could rate beers as well as Piscator, my life would be complete. So, what he said is great.

Bottled sample via boutip. Pale orange in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas are of caramel pudding, floral hops, and a bit of wet wood. Somewhat of an odd flavor profile, with notes of tropical fruits, astringent wood, bubblegum, peppery yeast, and booze. Finishes dry, but also kinda dirty. Overall, the great aroma is a bit of a tease, as the flavor is somewhat of a letdown.

Clear orange body and white head with good lacing. Aroma of malt and coriander. Sticky texture. The flavor is medium sweet and medium bitter.

I’m not that up on my French, but I think this translates to "The Divine". From a stubby, Duvel-style bottle, not the snazzy flip top in the picture. Cloudy orange, cloudy, fluffy white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma, with some banana and bubble gum. Flavor is pretty much exactly what the aroma promises, maybe with a little white wine in the finish. Enjoyable brew.

This flippy top bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated light yellow-orange colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was floral and malty. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt mild hops sweet and orange peel. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

TAP: light amber pour, white head. Nose is booze, taste is sweet and dry, with mild caramel. Pretty good.
