schuimkroaat (384), Leuven, Belgium Aug 14, 2008 75 cl bottle, ’bbe’ May 10. Light brassy with fine yet thick cloudiness and a vivid head and lace which are still there after an hour (literally). A rich fruit explosion in the nose; it’s hard to say what comes first, grapes or raisins or avocado or banana or fresh fruit cake with oranges... It’s easy to dream on. The taste is based on a mellow, unassertive yet clearly present a kind of honey toffee, upgraded by that rich plethora of fruit and finishing on an uncompromising bitterness that lingers on confidently in the aftertaste. A nice surprise! RomanW70 (284), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Jul 14, 2008 On tap at Bier Passie weekend in Antwerp 6/20. Pours orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of funk and apple. Ninish of citrus and spice. Very nice beer. thebeertourist (1889), Oslo, Norway Jun 30, 2008 From bottle at Bier Passie Weekend, Antwerpen. Beautiful orange golden colour with a rocky head. Cloudy. Fruity, slightly sour aroma. Complex flavours combining slightly sour fruit with drywood and hints of talc. Ends very dry. Appearantly made with passion! Bart (1401), Vosselaar, Belgium Jun 21, 2008 Hazy blond coloured beer with little carbonation and an average off-white head. Very fruity appel and pear aroma. Full palate, some sprankling. Finish is ligth bitter, herby and dry near the end. excellent saison this one.
