Nov 3, 2008 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Bit of a gusher. Rich orange, small head. Sweet slightly sour beery aroma, a bit dusty, and a bit plasticky. Anna says nuts, I don’t get. Quite full bodied - loads of rich malts, and a real slap in the face from noble hops. Fairly yeasty and spicy - and some pleasant apricot and peach hints. Unfortunately the sticky sweetness is a bit cloying after a while; like many belgians they’d need to tone down the candy sugar to appeal to my palate. It’s pretty well balanced, between malt, hops, and spices, so the whole thing works quite well. Everything hangs around for a long and warming finish. However, as you can guess from that additional adjective, it’s also a bit too alcoholic. Not to the extent of being boozy, but it’s pretty noticeable.

Oct 31, 2008 Bottle received via trade with ygtbsm94. Pours hazy orange with an average, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, biscuit), light hops (flowers), heavy yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of apple, pear, and honey. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
