Mild wheat aroma. Clear golden color with a small white head. Light malt beginning with a traditional Belgian middle, finishing quickly.

Bottle from Tesco. Beautiful dark golden colour with a perfect white head. Aroma is both malt and flowery hop with a hint of peach. Flavour mixes sweetness with a slight hint of the sourness of a wheat beer. Hints of apple in the satisfyingly dry finish. Excellent beer that just shades their Dubbel, though as the nights draw in, I’ll probably reverse that.

33 cl. Clear, orange-gold with an eighth-inch of persistent head. Aroma of white wine, apples and corn sugar. Flavor of apples and grapes soaked in white wine with a touch of honey. Light body is dry on the finish and a little too fizzy for me.

Medium amber beer with small diminishing head. Pleasant aroma and somewhat watery initial taste of fruits and malt. Finish is nice. Needs more alcohol. Quite cheap, so is now my beer of choice to be stocked up with.

Creme medianamente denso e persistente. No aroma e no sabor, típicos do estilo, muitas cascas de laranja, frutas secas e damascos. Final longo e doce, levemente alcoólico.
