Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
Four generations of the Moortgat family have brought together Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops, and a unique yeast strain to create this intense, aromatic and beguiling ale. This Belgian favorite is best enjoyed chilled (40 - 50 F) with discerning friends or good-looking strangers.

My oh my. Pours a nearly clear golden/straw with huge white head that leaves a lot of lacing on the way down. On the nose you get a very sweet tone,alcohol, and the standard fruit. The taste is citric in style with a long lasting flavor. It stays constant and does not morph into anything else less desirable. I just have to give it a 5. Mouthfeel is terrific with a good combo of bubbles and flavor. This is easily drinkable in mass quantity. Outstanding brew.

330 ml. bottle. Pours a nice thick, creamy long duration head, with loads of lacing, over a slightly cloudy pale yellow body....mild slightly spicy belgian yeast nose, with some mild citrus tones....tastes of mild citrus, with lots of carbonation up front, finishing with a sharp and lasting hop bitterness. Very nice mouth feel. Since Moortgat created the style of a Golden Belgian Strong Ale, it is the standard.

Lovely pale colour followed by a slightly citrusy smooth flavour. Very more-ish.

Very pleasantly surprised! Enigmatic beer actually. Hoppy and wheaty with a touch of citrus like Hoegaarden. Taste is smooth and silky with that classic Belgian wheat beer taste. I feel like it’s more of a Saison like Ommegang Hennepin than a Belgian Strong Ale but hey, I like it so I’m not gonna complain. Great beer!

Full malty aroma with notes of peach. Pours with a rich head and a clear golden color. Sweet & fruity in flavor, backed up by a pleasant taste of hops. I had high expectations for this beer and while it is a very solid ale, I wasn’t blown away by it.
