2008 - Comes out with almost no head. It has a full taste with gentle creamy hop almost. Fills the mouth also after the sip. Easy to drink but best enjoyed slowly.

750ml bottle. Clear golden body. Complex and interesting brew. Spicy and fresh aroma. Also banana, hops and flowers. Flavor is warming from the high alcohol concentration. Also dough, yeast, hay, hops, spices and sweets. Good one but I like the blue better.

Bottle. Spicy yeasty nose. Creamy mouthful. Zesty and spicy and rich full flavor. Nice lively carbonation lights up your mouth and your senses. Complex and bitter finish.

2008 - A little bit of a let down from the Blue, which was incredible. This is reminiscent of a Bernardus Abt 12.. although not quite that high in quality. A rich, creamy, blonde ale.

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, airy head. Fruity nose with plenty of perfume and coriander. Sweet and full bodied, estery alcohol, soap and coriander. Soft´and warming, arousing and complex. Juicy saffron finish with herbal bitterness.

Flaske: Lys næsten trippel i sit udseende. Duft af gær og frugt. Dejlig frisk i sin smag, gør at den igen minder om en trippel i sit udtryk. Dejlig belgisk øl hvor sødmen og gæren kombineret giver et balanceret udtryk Rigtig god øl.

750ml from Total Wine & More, Roseville. Pours a mostly clear orange, fizzy within, with a large egg-white head. Aroma is mostly hoppy, with some lighter fruits coming around sparingly. Flavor is nice: Quite fruity and spicy, with a sharp funky bitterness at the end. Kind of an astringent bite, but it works. Lighter feel, good spritz element on the tongue. Not too memorable, but very likeable. Overall, very good.
