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.

Bomber. Wasn’t a huge fan - tasted good at first but I was not enjoying it towards the end of the bottle. The after effects left my mouth dry - generally that happens to me if I drink too much of a hoppy beer - however this didnt overwhelm me with hoppiness that aspect was certainly present.

Pours pale yellow with tall white head. Carbonation bubbles. Aroma is esters and some spices. Very nice, crisp, easy to drink. I finally found a Belgian ale that I like. Delicious.

Bottled. Prominent white head. You can tell the sweetness from the aroma. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, and sweet. Little to no spices. You can either like or dislike this beer, but it is a terrific and very well made one. It flows nicely and you can feel the class in every zip.

Very light golden body witha small white head. Grainy/floral hop aroma. Typical belgian ale with a little sweetness. A little heavy on the carbonation. Nice

A damn good beer. I read through some of the other reviews and I agree with the comments on the head lasting annoyingly long and there being alot of carbonation, but I really think this is a great tasting beer. The taste is a bit fruity, and it makes me think of a highly carbonated tripel.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light-honey color with big fluffy white head. Hint of banana in the aroma. Wheat and fine Belgian yeasts in the flavor. Smooth at first, with a bit of bitterness in the finish. Pretty good.

About time to finally get this 33cL bottle reviewed. It pours pure clear gold with full near fluffy white head. This is pretty much a perfect looking beer. The aroma is coriander mixing with apples, pears and a touch of sweet maltiness. The taste begins crisp and a bit bright with Belgian yeasty spices, coriander and sweet ripe green apples. Those notes tend to bleed into pears and apricots. It gets a bit spicy into the finish with Belgian yeastiness. Solid Brew!
