Served in a Trappist glass from the tap at De Achelse Kluis. Cloudy yellow with thich creamy white head. Light floral, spicy aroma. Flavor is spicy, notes of clove, citrus. Reminds me of a light version of Leffe Blond. Light-bodied. Very drinkable. Nice beer.

Bottle at Bier Markt. Poured a yellow orange with a pretty weak off-white head. Lots of sweet spicy, cloves that I found overwhelming/unpleasant, too hot.

(Draught@Achel) Opaque yellow-orange with a medium, partly lasting and lacy head. Mild, citrusy-malty aroma with some grassy hops (served quite cold). Fresh, pale-malty flavor with light lemony sourness. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. A refreshing, somewhat hoppy brew with pleasantly low ABV and decent body.
