Absolutely beautiful pour, very cloudy sand color with an amazing head, rivaling that of Houblon Chouffe. Nice American hops in the aroma with a fair bit of funky Belgian yeast. Doughy and fresh. Wonderful body, lots of Belgian spices, pumpkiny, with some big, brash hoppiness backing it up in the finish. Very yellow hops. Easy drinking for 10%. A solid offering all around. smith4498 (921), Miami, Florida, USA

The aroma is a little hop, with spices, and fruits like lime and orange. There are several spices which are not combine. It makes it very medical. The taste don’t makes it better, even not if the beer is getting warmer. It stays medical with a prevailing of spices like nutmeg and pepper.
Ratting 3/10, 3/5, 2/10, 2/5, 6/20.
A second tasting: The aroma was very hoppy, with some fruits and spices. The taste was bitter and yeasty of the hops. Some fruits a little citus with banana. Spices like pepper and gloves. The second tasting was much better.
