Beautiful blonde with a large, lingering, foamy white head. Nice smooth palate with not a ton of flavour. Malty / yeasty. Nice.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours a pretty, light hazy dark yellow. A fine, creamy white head. Okay lacing and good duration. Aroma is nicely fruity, good banana, oranges, some almonds, yeast and light fruity hops. Rather lively mouthfeel - good creaminess. Flavour is wonderfully fruity sweet. Some apples, pineapple, banana, oranges and the nutty almond tones prevail. A light spicy hoppiness in the finish. This is a great brew.

330 ml stubby bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 6.6%. Contains barley malt, wheat malt, oats and spelt, hops, yeast, coriander and orange peel. Hazy golden colour, huge head. Typical "Belgian" aroma: ale yeast, spices, fermenting fruits. The flavour is spicy but also very refreshing for a beer of this strength, moderately sweet with decent hops in the finish. Just a touch of citrus. Well balanced and pleasant to drink.

This was a delicious Belgian beer. It was a lonely bottle in the corner of the bottle shop that was lost in the back room for months. Aroma was nice. Smelled like a tripel. Strong apricot and yeast. Pour was a near perfect dirty orange with a two finger white head. Taste was pure fruit cocktail. All pear, peach and grape with biting carbonation and a sweet light fruit aftertaste. This beer is what Belgian ales are all about. Great!

Pours hazy golden with some visible yeast and a mostly receding wispy off-white head. Notes of yeasty esters: pear, spice, white grape, spice, light citrus, bubble gum and pale malt. Medium to full bodied with soft, lush carbonation.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head pancakes as it slowly recedes to coat surface. Coriander and yeast aromas. Creamy sweet bubblegum upfront; turning crisp in the yeasty finish. Improves remarkably as it warms.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Aroma is complex wheaty/spelt grainy with a very pronounced note of orange peel and a mild yet distinct spice note, underlying is a very classic Belgian yeasty note. Flavour is rather complex and following the same lines as the aroma. Orange peel and coriander take a step forward in a medium sweet fruity beer. Ends with a lingering wheat and spelt flavour with a little remaining orange peel note. Lovely!
