Commercial Description:
This cross-cultural brew was first made at the request of an Irish musical group and was named "Celtic Heaven," but soon became a permanent part of the Serafijn lineup. Similar to a light Irish ale, but but with the intriguing of a spicy, almost perfumed aroma that comes not from spices but from a special Belgian yeast.

Bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain/bread, cookie, nuts), lightly hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (basement), with light notes of gum and orange peel. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Pretty ho-hum and ordinary.

A clear ashy light brown ale with a thick off white head. A sweet yeasty aroma , with fusel alcohol, very aromatic, a bit doughy. In mouth, a lightly sweet doughy malt with light coriander, a bit buttery, thus the celtic angel name. Medium bodied. Bieropholie imports.

330ml bottle. Off-white layer resting over a hazy amber-brown body. Yeast and herbs to the nose. Spices and late fruits in flavour overshadowed by candy sweetness. Soft texture (shared with Finn A. at Pegasus, Copenhagen 28.05.2008).

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours deep gold to copper with off white head. The aroma is big sweet fruitiness of prunes, sugar malt sweetness, sweet tart candy and raisins. It has a light and dry taste containing mild fruity sweetness mixed with smooth fruit tartness. I get prunes, raisins, apples and plums all mixing around in there and playing together nice. Yum.
