330ml Bottle: Aroma of Belgian yeast and a hint of fruit. Poured yellow/amber/gold in color with a large, creamy, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of Belgian yeast and pale malts. Medium body. Lightly dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Belgian yeast finish is lightly dry. Not much to it.

Clear deep golden body with a short thick head, delightful grassy aroma, with a nice balance between hops, citrus and malt, very crisp flavor, refreshing,a fine ale. Taste much lighter than its alcohol content.

clear pour. dirty blond color with a soft white head. it smells really dirty... dusty and muddy yet floral with notes of orange and yeast. it has a muddy flavor as well... yeast, grassy hops, florals and a mild bitterness on the finish. mud puddle lingering aftertaste is not a pleasant character in beer... medium to thick body. sludgy and blech...5/3/4/1/9/2.2

50 cl can from France (merci Papa!), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JL 24/09.

App.: Clear, deep golden with a nice white foam. Aroma: Earthy fruitiness, lemony coriander, a little brightness, some stale apple juice. Palate: Medium body and moderate effervescence. Flav.: More earthy coriander than the nose, citrusy and quite fruity, biscuit malts; sweet with no bitterness and leftover biscuit malts.

Fair, but not terribly exciting.
