330ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden orange with a fizzy white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma with a hint of celery salt.Flavor of wheat malt, spice, and apples. Finishes dry and with some mild bitterness and warming. Not bad, but there are better examples out there.

great lively carbonation. hazy orange/cloudy gold. Fruity, bitter and fresh. Be carefull while opening the bottle and pouring and choose a big glass (if you dont have an oerbier glas). Again an exciting beer from De dolle Brothers!

Pours out a pale copper color with a decent sized foamy head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is fruity with some notes of citrus, aroma reminds me of a white beer a bit. Some spice and fruit are present in the taste with a tart citrus finish, a very drinkable refreshing beer.

Poured into a Chimay glass. Foams over the top and continues to produce huge mountains of foam. Aroma of dough, bread and hay. Cloudy gold with health head that leaves thick lacing as it finally recedes. Full body and texture. Nice.

Bottle. Pale straw spun to gold with a mutinously large head forming off a slow pour. Spiced green apples are the first note in the aroma. The head really isn’t budging and it’s formed a pretty cloud-marshmallow at the top. It’s being fed by a slow boil of carbonation from the bottom center of the glass. Nice. The aroma also has a faint hint of lemon, grass, rind. The taste holds the promised apples with an alcohol bite, and a fruit mix, slightly biter finish. Sweet tart. Quite quaffable.

A hazy-orange beer with a big fluffy white head. A hoppy aroma, the taste is a bit fruity and bitter. A very good beer. (Bottle 33cl)

Hazy deep golden color with a large white foamy, creamy head. Clean, very citrusy aroma; somewhat yeasty, too. The flavor is strong and very unique. Tastes quite spiced, mostly bitter though a little sweet, smoky, and very dry, reminiscent of dry champagne. Coriander flavor is prominent and works really well for this unique beer. Well-balanced. Nice rounded smooth mouthfeel with a bitter spiced finish. Excellent Belgian that I will drink again.
