Aroma is sweet and full of grassy yeast along with oranges and lemon peel. Cloudy golden orange pour producing a 3/4" head and calm lacing. Spritzy feel that is surprisingly smooth, sweet and medium bodied with a touch of the booze in the aftertaste. Well blended flavors of fruity oranges and lemon with a touch of banana mixed with musty yeast, candi sugar, biscuits and grass.

Dec 25, 2009 Light orange pour with a big white head that has good retention. Very interesting aroma, nothing like I have ever smelled in a beer before. Strong fruity ester aroma with a touch of coriander. Similar flavor, strong dried candy fruitiness with a touch of spice and yeast. Clean and crisp light body, very dry, almost champagne like. I can’t deny the effort and creativity that went into this beer from one of my favorite breweries, but just not my cup of tea.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle. Poured a light caramel with a thin off white head. Big fruity peachy apricoty and belgian yeast nose. Very lively in the carbonation department, champagne like. Some bready notes, but lots of fruit, apricot stands out to me the most. Full bodied and smooth, this ends with a bitter sweet finish. Nice american version of the style.

Dec 19, 2009 I have been wanting to try this for so long. And I have no idea why it took so long. Very sweet up front, malts, bread, some citrus. Then has a peppery finish. Very nice. Ale Smith rarely disappoints.

Dec 12, 2009 Slightly hazy golden with a small, fading head. Aroma is "homebrewish", with sourish, pale malt, and not very well hidden alcohol. Flavor is also sourish, pale-malty, slightly stingy-alcoholic and pear-fruity. Medium body, fizzy carbonation with alcohol burning. A cheap, unclean and alcoholic Duvel clone, not at the level of most beers from this brewery.

Dec 11, 2009 Pour was clear, pale yellow with a bright white, coating head. Carbonation all OVER the place. Aroma was great but in an easy mac and pepper kind of way, I have no idea where that came from. The flavor was similar to an IPA but more banana, orange and a little spice. Super refreshing. The abv on these things always takes me by surprise in a great way.

Dec 6, 2009 (Bottle at Pikkulintu) Poured yellow and hazy with medium sized white head. Aroma was sweet, fruity and yeasty. Palate was medium bodied and sticky with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, honey, fruitiness, sweetness, light sourness, coriander, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was very sweet and lightly bitter. Flawless beer with interesting bits but too sweet for my taste.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottled (Pikkulintu)
Hazy orange color, small white head. Grapefruity, citrusy, fruity aroma. Fruity (lemon, grapefruit), hoppy and with some alcohol. Sweetish version of "Duvel-copy". Long grapefruit fruity aftertaste. Decent "Belgian strong ale".
