Bottle. Birthday present from my brother. Pours a hazy straw colour with large rocky slifhtly off white head. Nice lacing. Aromas of grain, spice bananas an belgium yeast. Slightly sour. Flavours once again of malt and fruit. Some sourness and plenty of trypical belgium yeast esters. Carbonation and mouthfeel are as expected. Good beer.

Pours a hazy pale gold with a large, frothy white head that quickly settles and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is earthy with hints of citrus and herbs. Not excessively sweet, but with minimal bitterness, some acidity, some savoury flavours, while the alcohol is well hidden. Medium bodied, lively and very smooth on the palate, with a finish that is yeasty and slightly savoury.

On tap at ’Au Fut et a mesure’, Lille, 12th Dec 09. Very slightly hazy golden yellow with a thick soft/smooth white head. Grain and citrus on the nose. Quite creamy palate but light in the mouth and has a good, lasting finish. Delicate pear flavour too.

bottle. pours a golden beer with a big white head. Strong aroma with hints of spice. Looks like a strong belgian blonde beer. Full taste with hints of the spices and a blonde beer. Nice beer!

75 cl bottle. Deep gold color, dusty, funky farmhouse aroma with green apple and a bit of honey. Rather sweet flavor with honey, citrus, and green apples, plus some minerals. Great balance. Rich yet clean. Very nice.
