De un color dorado pálido, turbia debido a que está sin filtrar. Su cabeza es blanca pero menuda y de poca persistencia. Presenta sedimentación. (3/5) En nariz tiene un punto floral (¿a rosas?) típico de las cervezas elaboradas por la Brasserie de la Binchoise. Los tonos afrutados predominan. (8/10) Gran cuerpo pese a su gasificación media-baja. (3/5) Una cerveza muy agradable con una entrada suave pero con buena consistencia, buenos matices en boca los sabores afrutados predominan claramente sobre el resto. Se encuentra un toque amargo, pero muy suave. Buena persistencia. El regusto es suave como la entrada y al final aparece un leve sabor a levadura. (8/10) Suave y agradable con un buen cuerpo que le proporciona la triple fermentación. Predominan los tonos afrutados que se mantienen hasta el final de la cata. No encuentran tonos etílicos, su contenido alcohólico que queda totalmente disimulado. Para mi gusto le falta un toque de amargor. Los posos y el final a levadura indica que su tercera fermentación en botella esta incompleta y que es una cerveza que todavía evolucionará mucho, será interesante probarla más adelante para seguir esta evolución. Una cerveza interesante. (12/20)

I pretty much purchased this beer because the bottle looked really cool (I think I got it in the same bar as the previous reviewer). I wasn’t expecting that much and I got just that. Blond pour with a nice sized head. Slightly fruity aroma. Dry taste. Sweet, with a slight amount of alcohol. Good for a beer... only very average for a Belgian.

33 cL bottle at Belchica Bar in Barcelona. Pours cloudy with a lot of yeast sediments and a lacing white head. Aroma is classic Belgian: yeasty and slight fruity. Medium sweet flavour, classic caramel and yeasty. Ends light yeast fruity and with a mild caramel malt note.

From 33cl bottle. Hazy golden body with a fluffy white head that lasts for a few, leaving very little lacing. Light nose with touches of grapefruit or bitter orange. Flavor starts citric sour to turn to a liquorice finish with a slight bitterness. Medium carbonation with a smooth palate, slightly oily, delivers its content quite heavily with its alcoholic power. This new beer has potential but still needs to be refined in the brewery. I will re-rate the future production.
