Mmmm... this is tasty. Nice spicy and estery flavor from the yeast in combination with the malts and probably sugars. A nice touch of alcohol as it warms. Nice big head that lingers, too.

white head that disperses quite quickly. dark orange pour. Sweet flavor and the malt is very apparent on the palate. Little bit of citrus.

Pours a cloudy apple juice-like color with a medium off-white frothy head which fades slowly leaving lots of webbed lacing. Aroma is clove, banana, light citrus, and Belgian spice. Taste is much the same. Your typical Belgian.

Obnoxious excessive foaming when you pour it... welcome to belgians! Holds a sub 1-inch head for 4 minutes at least. Still has good carbonation when all the fuss settles down. It comes in one of those annoying bottles that drips on the pour no matter what you do. The aroma is spicy with cinnamon, allspice and yeast smells. Color is slightly cloudy amber. The taste actually starts off bland, and quickly changes to a malt dominated spicecake flavor. The consistency begins watery and quickly fizzes by the time it reaches the back of the tongue. Finish tastes like apple juice and orange peel with a little sweet spice.

Bottle. beer pours a hazy dark orange beer the head is thin or none at all. the nose is mostly yeast with a little citurs and malt, the taste is all about the yeast

12oz bottle. Pours light amber/orange with a big off-white head that retains well. Lots of lacing. Aroma is fruity and yeasty. Flavor is the same, but more subdued. Finish is very dry, almost watery and a bit soapy.

Pours a very hazy honey copper with thick white head. Aroma is citrus pine with semi metallic notes. Flavor is apricots, pine flavored hops and yeast. Body is crisp and a light creaminess with high carbonation.
