On draught at Bier Circus in Brussels. Cloudy darkish yellow with white head. Very malty and yeasty, citrus flavors and maybe cinnamon. Good bitter finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slowly diminished white and lacing head. Aroma is mild acetone yeasty and light caramel malty. Smooth caramel malt flavoured with a distinct yeasty base. Light alcohol warmth into the finish. Classic yeasty and caramelish Belgian beer, I would call this a triple rather than a Belgian Strong.

On tap at Bier Circus, Brussels. Hazy, pale golden with a nicely lacing white head. Potent grassy and spicy hops aroma. Fruity flavours blending with good bitterness. Dangerously drinkable.

Appears to be different from the Circus Bier, which was another special for Bier Circus from Hopperd. On draft, pours clear and bright yellow-gold with tight, filmy white head. Nose is lightly honey-sweet, with soft lemon and banana esters, and a touch of funky hayshed. Tastes pretty sweet, bright and fruity with some balance from a light bitterness in the back. Hides its strength well enough.
