creamy yeast with strong carbonation. Tasty, honeyish and on sweet side, but carbonation on mouth detracted. Rather one dimensional on yeast, some clove tea spice, some orange citrus, Drinkable

a belgian strong by the De Dolle Brouwers that is lacking in complexity...cloudy, hazy orangish yellow appearance with massive, growing head...aroma and flavor were essentially the same; dominant in yeast, lemon, grass, and honey...some herbal and floral notes...nothing too special here

Robe dorée très claire surmontée d’une imposante mousse blanche compacte en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes de houblon citronné et de céréales. Saveurs douces d’agrumes légèrement sucrés, de houblon amérisant floral, de céréales et d’alcool.

Lovely straw colored haze in the glass with a lively bright white head. There is a touch of orange blossom honey on the nose blending nicely with notes of dandelion and hay. The weight of this beer is brilliant with a soft, round texture and medium body. However, the hops are the main attraction here, providing plenty of bite and a crisp summery finish.

12 oz, and it was a major gusher. Took almost 20 minutes to properly pour. Appearance, very cloudy, light brown looks like hazy ice tea. Aroma: somewhat pungent, like Brett, with some fruity phenolic notes. Taste is tart, I think this is past it’s shelf life.
