75 cl corked bottle
Pours golden with a slight haze. Head looks like whipped cream. Aroma is yeasty lemon with alcohol fumes. Lemon zest dominates the flavour with notes of salty liquorice, herbs and a little bit of alcohol. A good beer, but a bit over hyped.

Aug 13, 2008 In short: A bubbly crisp ultra-hoppy Strong Belgian blonde ale. Excellent.
How: Bottle 750ml. Consumed some 6 months after the beer release. Sample at Cathschlag birthday party tasting.
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a large and long-lasting white head
In long: Unltra hoppy nose of meringue reminding me of Chouffe Houblon. Taste is crisp and dry. Crusty lemon pie with a 2 inch meringue top. Very bubbly. Dry finish. Alcohol a little apparent. I don’t have many notes on this one except that I wrote that it is between a Malheur Bière Brut and a Chouffe Houblon without being as great either of these two... and they’re having a threesome and then a Dark Lord walks in and says: Want something big and black?

Aug 12, 2008 Botella. Nice bit hazy golden colour with a huge great rocky creamy long lsting white head leaving a great lacing, so very nice. Lovely hoppy and grassy aroma with fruity grapes, alcohol and yeast. Great mouthfeel. Lovely fruity grape, yeasty and alco hoppy flavour indeed with a plesant sweetness. Amazing thewolf got his hands on this.

Aug 10, 2008 Wow Wow wow, so happy to have had this. Chris of Ebenezer’s broke this bad boy out of his personal cellar for me, my girflriend and some other beer geeks from BA. Pours yellow with a bright white 1 finger head. Nose hoppy and really great. Taste is hoppy and spicy and killer, wow what a combo of duvel and hops into a great new beer.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle. Damn, this looks good - in both box and bottle (even better outside it).
Pours a super beautiful golden with a gigantic, creamy, white head. Brilliant lacing and a looooong duration. Beautiful. Aroma is very hoppy, grass, viniousness, light yeast, apples and grapes. Low carbonation, leaving plenty of mouthfeel for the expanded hops note. Very creamy mouthfeel. Stunning flavour, lightly tart, oranges, apples. Good viniousness and a great, grassy hoppiness. Some sweetness and grape/white wine notes. Wow!

Aug 1, 2008 Bottle, thanks to larsniclas. Yellow color, nice white head. Floral aroma, hoppy, some marcipan and perfume, mailky and a bit fruity. Hoppy, fruity, floral, citric and spicy flavor. Grapefruit notes and with some soap. Nice bitter finish.
