Bottle. A strong aroma of citrus with a sweet background, the finish is a little bit sour. The head is gigantic, white and foamy, it is rather fast disappearing. The body is pale yellow. The taste is acidic and light bitter. The body is light to medium, with a lot of carbonation and a dry body.

Pours crystal clear amber with huge frothy long lasting head with some lacing. Aroma is yeasty and spicy in a refreshing way. Flavour is also slightly spicy but otherwise rather flat. Very high carbonation which poorly fills up the thin body.

Bottle. Pours a huge white collapsing head, and murky gold color. Aroma is almost a white beer- nose of sweetness, lemon peel, coriander. Taste spicy and flat, sticky mouthfeel. Certainly get the warm alcohol about midway. Nice.

330mL bottle from Regional – last one! Pours deep golden, white fluffy head which fully dissipates. A good Belgian nose to this one. Very fruity aromas, slightly herbaceous and a hint of alcohol and hops. Flavour is deceptively subdued to begin, with subtle malt sweetness. Then an alcoholic bitterness kicks in and brings some nice herb character with it. Alcohol just shows itself to be involved in the flavour, but reasonably well hidden.

Bottle (in NZ). Very lively pour, plenty of carbonation with a huge frothy white head. Sweet and spicy yeasty aroma. Lots of bittering and dry alcohol on the palate. The malt is slightly bready with a champagne-like dry grape finish. Probably one you would prefer to share. Mine seemed to lack the sweetness others refer to, which would have helepd to offset the strong alcohol presense.
