Nov 7, 2009 Aroma: Sourish, almost white wine-like. Funky, apple peel and pear flesh – very fruity. Fresh hops, but not as protruding as expected. Spicy yeast, overall very Belgian. Slightly fiery and with vague hints of earht armagnac and black cherries.
Flavour: Sweet, profoundly malty, slightly roasted (off given its colour). Some hop bitterness is discernable, making it slightly more drinkable than the average superfruity belgian ale. Overall extremely fruity.
Appearance: Light yellow with a fine-bubbled white head. Slightly frothy but thin.
Palate: Fizzy, quite thick, as though there were pearjuice in it.

Nov 5, 2009 Bottle that I picked up at Bierkoning (I think), Amsterdam, Netherlands, consumed 01-11-09 Pours golden with a white head. This tastes great but there is plenty of sweetness. Good bitterness from the hops, nice burst of citrus, its lovely stuff and if it could be just tweaked with a little less sweetness and a little more bitterness this great beer would be verging on excellent.

Nov 2, 2009 Great mix of a strong golden belgian, and a belgian IPA. Lots of yeasty fruitiness that goes great with some sharp spicy hops. Reminds me alot of the chouffe ipa. THis one seems a little hoppier though, either way, an outstanding beer, and i enjoyed it alot!

Hoppy aroma. Some carbonation. Golden coloured hoppy and a little sweet on the palate with a honey flavour. Hint of dryness in a crisp and bitter finish.

BB 08-2010, sampled on October 27, 2009
HAzy with visible particles pale golden color, big fluffy white head. Fresh, spicy, lactic, malty, alcohol scent. Spicy, acidic, bitter, fruity, sweet, phenolic, alchool taste. Phenolic and alcohol aftertaste. MEdium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Alcohol is way too evident all over the place in this one, with clear notes of alcohol in scent, taste and aftertaste, as well as with a warming gut feeling. Hits the old head after only half a small glass too. Not for me, needs to show less alcohol character. Also not very hoppy as suggested bu the name and description.

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a cloudy, bubbly orange with a medium ivory head. Aroma is generously hoppy with even a little cannabis skunkiness. Flavor is indeed very hoppy; It’s definitely a Belgian-style ale, but with a lot of bitter hops. Strange, I’ve never had a Belgian this hoppy, but it works out okay. Very fruity to boot. Full mouthfeel, hearty viscosity. Different, but good. I like it. Overall, good to very good.
