11.2 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Amber/orange with lasting puffy beige head and lace. Spicy hoppy yeasty tobacco aroma. Fruity sweetness, apricot nectarine mild tartness with underlying tobacco bitterness and spicy bitter finish. Medium body and medium carbo give spicy effervescence. Fairly complex and nicely hopped. I like beers like this and I like this one.

330ml bottle (Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Fruity, slightly alcoholic aroma. Tingly carbonation. Very bitter taste, which reinforces the bitterness of the alcohol, which is bad. Very full of esters though. Dark bitter finish. Not a pleasant bitterness though.

On tap @ redlight redlight. Pours a cloudy golden with a large white head. Nice lacing on the glass. The nose on this is peaches, very citrusy, slight bitterness, bready yeasts drift through as well. Sweetish in flavor, a graininess, fruity malt, citrus and apricot hop flavor, and a very large bitter ending. This bitterness grow through the sip. Well carbed, balanced dry finish. Quite nice, one of the most bitter hoppy Belgians that I’ve had. Achieves a very nice balance between sweet body and bitter hop dryness.
