Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Clear golden with rich airy head and lots of sediment. perfumy honeyish nose. Very sweet (like always from Huyghe) with plenty of viola and honey.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with stuff floating around. The head is mediumsized offwhite and creamy. Aroma is acidic, alcoholic, sour fruitish and a bit earthy. Flavour is acidic sour fruits along with yeast. Once the flavour settles a bit in the mouth it also has a quite sweet alcoholic and fruity peak. The aftertaste is almost like fruitpie mixed with bread. Alcohol gives the beer a big sweet peak, but mixes in quite well. Once it warms up a bit yeast and spices also makes it’s way in the flavour. A bit like an imperial witbier or something... (read: Witbier with lots of alcohol in it).

Bottle at Delirium Café, Göteborg
It has a blond color, a fruity-malt aroma; the flavor is quite strange: sweet malt, light fruitness, light spices, light vegetables, light iron… A bit alcoholic. The usual Huyghe one.

Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet aroma with fruity and yeasty notes. Flavor likewise that ends sweet.

Bottled (BB 05/2008)
Hazy pale yellow color, decent white head, lots of lace. Strong metallic aroma with coriander and fruitynes. Underlying sweetness, grapefruit bitterness. Dry and bit watery finish. Kind of witbier-like, quite bland.
