Bottle. [thank you Yespr/BierKönig]
BBE: 2006. Pours a muddy pale orange with a lot of small particles in the liquid. A great, creamy white head. Stunning lacing. Aroma is lightly spicy, dougy and honey. Quite lively mouthfeel and really full creaminess. Flavour is lightly oxidized, sweet, vinious, nice and round with wheat of yeasty fruitiness dominating.

Bottle, comes as "Achelse Zoomer 2004". Hazy deep orange with a nice creamy white head leaving a good curtain lacing. Aroma is a bit sweet with yeast, ripe fruits. Good mouthfeel. Sweet and fruity yeasty dry well filling flavour with some spices and a bit mouldiness. Bit oxidized. Thanks a lot yespr.

75 cL bottle, huge thanks to Bierkönig. 2004 bottle, BBD: 12/2007, tasted 01/2008. Pours hazy orange with a diminishing white head. Light honey, yeasty spiced and mild caramel malty aroma. Mellow yeasty, smooth caramel and light fruity flavour. Strong blond, almost triple like (no wonder it is added on RB as a Tripel...despite the name). Slight oxidation.
