I got this bottle from someone, but who the hell was it? Thanks to whoever it was. Pours a cloudy orange with a good size foamy head. The aroma is tons of citrus; oranges, coriander, and pepper. The taste is very smooth and full; tons of spices and citrus along with a malty background. Very easy to drink and quite nice.

750 corked and caged poured into a trappist galss has an orange amber color and a thin off white head. aroma has loads of spices (coriander, anise, cinamon, clove), orange zest, sweet malt, and perfume. mouth feel is light with fizzy carbonation. flavor is definately spice domanited, bitter orange, sweet malt that is totally overpowered, and light bitters. I just cant get past the termendous spicing against the bitter orange and it reminds me of tasting perfume. not for me.

Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Pours with a large, fluffy or rocky off-white head. Hazy burnt yellow hue with plenty of particles. Aroma of currants, berries, coriander, pepper, orange, and star anise. Taste is dry, full of berries, spices, and coriander. Very lively carbonation, dry mouthfeel.

750 ml bottle. Lots of carbonation. Fruity aromas with spice and some alcohol. Flavors were similar with a touch of tartness that never really comes through. Yummy

Lively well carbonated dark amber. Lasting meringue head. Soft sweet fruit and flower aroma. Warm peach apricot fruit liqueur flavour.

Thanks bmartin. Pours a golden orange with a one finger creamy off white head. Upon opening it seems as though this bottle will have little carbonation. The nose is spicy, nice earthiness to it, Belgian influence comes through in a very nice way, sweet, citrusy, orange peel definitely shows. The flavor is sweet, oranges for sure, spicy, alcohol well hidden, earthy Belgian funk, . Very nice full lively carbonation despite the seeming lack of carbonation on the pour and opening of the bottle. Finishes spicy and funky, a fantastic "Belgian". I like the upfront character of the Belgian yeast and how it coordinates with the use of orange peel. Creates a very tasty traditional Belgian feel rather than an American interpretation.
