Strong, pale Belgian ale. Another great product from a wonderful brewery (Van Eecke).

5th beer at party. Lovely spicy aroma. A very nice beer, that I found spicy and flavorful. A Belgian I could have many many times.

Bottle – Poured a hazy golden brew with a huge head with perfect retention. Carbonation is excellent with bubble coming back on top minutes after the beer was poured. Aroma is very floral with some sweetness in the background; no alcohol aroma even though this is quite strong. The mix of spice is great with a nice mix between sweet (honey?) and something a bit stronger that I can’t quite distinguish. Again, the alcohol is not detectable which I always appreciate from stronger beer. Overall, this has to make you appreciate strong Belgian Ale.

Bottled. Poured into my tulip and admired the opaque light orange color with a nice thin but staying film of light airy foam. Just the faintest aroma of orange mist. Wow, such a nice tight bitter orange flavor here, stingingly acidic, but still well rounded and fruity. This is what Belgian beer is all about. To think I used to not like stuff like this. Wonderful.

Burnished yellow, dense and creamy, vinous, hazelnut and dried herbs aroma. Wondeful esthery but clean palate, slightly oily with hints of eucalyptus, peppermint and peanuts, drying out in the finish and leaving a longish hop bitter aftertaste. Damn Fine.

Orange color, big creamy head. Very good Strong Belgian Ale, with a malty and corky aroma; sweet and malty body, spicy, thick, with a very high ending bitterness.

Pour very slowly, thick pillowy white head that stays and leaves a good lace. Cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet malty nose. Starts sweet, smooth, no alcohol, finish is very mellow. It would be better to have a 500ml bottle of this. Pricey, $4.89 for a 330ml bottle from Tulley’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.
