750ml Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head that lasts for a while. Aroma is spicy with notes of yeast, coriander, clove, orange and doughy malt. Flavour is a little less spicy and a bit fruitier, with apples, pineapple and grapefruit noticeable, but is otherwise very similar to the aroma. Medium body with a highly carbonated yet smooth mouthfeel, this is a very good beer from Chouffe and good value as well.

Hazy unfiltered appearance that is almost orange. Great looking beer... tastes even better. Very well integrated alcohol flavor. This ones complex and fruity. Very easy to drink given its 8% ABV. Very nice flavor profile. I love the complexity of everything. Alittle malty, honey, spices and fruity. Lovin these strong beligian beers lately
