11.2 oz. Hay honey pour with an orange hue and a fast fading off-white head. Aromas include sweet citrus (orange) and malt. Tangy apricot and sour orange flavor. with a sweet malt finish and a hint of citrus hops. Light and fizzy on palate - watery. Overall: pretty interesting and definitely worth trying.

Bottle from monopoly outlet, Oslo. Pours semiclear honeycoloured with large white frothy head. Huge malty honey aroma, reminds me of the courtyards at scottish whisky distilleries. rather sweet caramel and honey taste like Innis & Gunn. Long and sweetfinish. A great beer, but not my kind of style.

Nice golden colour with a half short head. Nice aroma of cramell and barnyards. The flavour is also much sweet of caramell. There is also fruit and spices. Though not nearly as good as the Westvleetern brews it still is a good belgian brew.

Appearance: golden color. Big head with white color, airy and some lasting. Aroma: spicy hoppy with herbal notes like grass and coriander reminiscences. Citric smells like lemon, pineapples, melon and green apples. Also, the yeast, the banana and bubble-gum. Some slight mints and floral aromas. Flavor: sweet and ephemeral malty. Fruitiness like oranges and pineapple in syrup, tangerines and papaya marmalade. Floral notes like tea and chamomile; spiciness of aniseed and coriander. The banana and bubble-gum. Light dry-hoppy and enough herbal with grapefruits notes, some astringent and, maybe, menthol hints. Palate: medium body and medium to high carbonation. Remark: notably blond, fruity and spicy, with character and balanced sweetness.

Pours a cloudy burnt yellow with a finger sized foamy head that left lacing down the sides of the glass. Smell is yeasty, with nothing else really sticking out. Taste is decent, with warming alcohol that isn’t hidden all that well with a finish that is somehow sweet and medicinal at the same time.

Aroma is a yeast scent with fruit tones. Color is a pale gold with just a slight haze. Carbonation is very active creating a tall head that is loose on the bottom and very tight on top. Taste is light and fizzy. Starting with a lighter medium body that goes down with a foamy feel. Finish comes in with a light gain flavor and fruity yeast taste, then a bold bitterness. After taste is more bitterness. This is not one of the better Trappist but its is a tasty brew
