Pours a clear gold color with a thick white head. Aroma of malts, floral and spices. Flavors of malts and citrus fruits and some gingger. Good carbonation and a sweet bitter and dry finish. A good beer but not that speacial.

330 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, golden body with a big, creamy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, spices, floral perfume and some alcohol. Flavor is both sweet and refreshing, malt, fruit, spicy and a slightly bitter finish. More like a triple to me.

Clear golden body with large white head. Sweet aroma, mainly malty with a hint of tropical fruit. Full in taste but no real complexity, light spices and soft malts and don’t notice the alcohol, finishes a little too sweet but easy enough to drink and wasn’t a struggle at all.

A Duvel copy, but not quite up there. Slightly sweet, fruity aroma. Rather hoppy flavor, a bit tangy. Not a whole lot of complexity, but subtle. Decent bitter hop aftertaste. Somewhat lacking, but ok.

Pours out with a thick creamy head. Yellow-orange coloured. Mediocre carbonated.Aroma of malt and some spices (pepper). Full taste of hop, slightly bitter with a slightly dry finish. Somewhat watery. It’s a Duvel-like beer but less impressive.

The aroma is not impressive with wood, leaves, paper, alcohol, malt (grains), yeast, caramel, and grass. The appearance is amber gold with floating particles. The palate is really thin. Overall not a bad tasting beer but not a good one in the other qualities.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange body with a big white head. This was probably poorly kept at super saver what else is new. Some pepper spice, floral spicy hops, moth, and an ugly metallic tin character. Okay so its not that bad, i’ve had worse from super saver.
