Clear golden with a creamy white cap. Sweet faint maltiness, metallic, with a metallic sour flavour. Tasteless.

33cl from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly hazy dark golden caramel color with a thick and frothy off-white head that settles slowly and provides heavy lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet and fruity with notes of fresh flowers, spice, bread and yeast. Flavor is malt, bready, yeast, slightly sour ripe fruit and notes of malty sweetness like caramel and honey. Light to medium body with a quick, uninteresting finish. Overall, nice ale.

Pours clearly golden with a thin, white head. Weak flavor of sweat honey. Light beer in general. Not too crazy about it.

Bottle. Clear gold and sweet taste, just a hint of bitterness on the finish. Goes down nice and smooth though, my favorite grimbergen.

Served bottled. Barely hazy blonde with a large pillowy head and no yeast sediment. Carbonation is well balanced and subtle. Aroma is exotic and sweet, pale vanilla and nutmeg, white raisins and a touch of yeasts. Flavor is extremely sweet and bright, reminding me of light caramel and dried peaches or apricot. Aftertaste was my least favorite feature, leaving my mouth feeling syrupy from the sweetness of the flavor. Definitely a good beer, but if you prefer bitters, be warned that it is very sweet.

Mighty tastey brew, pours a slightly hazey orange-yellow colour with a quite large fluffy head that sticks around for a logn time. very pleasent in taste as well with peace and apricot flavors. Overall, sweet with a supple finish, a modest 6% abv.

0,65 l bottle...Clear golden-amber body-small but delisicious lacing head. Aroma is fine with spicey vanilla, citruses and top fermentation-yeast-perfume. The taste is smooth with oily vanilla and fruity/raisins flavour, moderated carbontion, fine hop. In my dream i can brew like the belgian masters...
