(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 27 Apr 2007) Golden yellow colour, slightly hazy, with white frothy head. Rather lively. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of orange, lemon and apricot. Fruity taste with balanced notes of spices, orange, lemon and mandarin. Very drinkable for the abv. Quite nice. 7/3/7/4/14=3.5 Rerate: (Bottle, 10 Sep 2014) Hazy golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with citrus, dried apricots, honey and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange, bread, banana, honey, grapefruit and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light wheat notes as well as light notes of spices. The flavor is sweet with strong fruity notes of oranges and apricot, as well as lighter notes of spices. A forgettable Belgian Ale.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy fully golden with a white head leaving some laces. Aroma of yeast and malt. Medium-bodied, sweetish malty with some fruity accents and a whiff of yeast. Decent but unspectacular. 220706

Hazy yellow, small white head. Fruity, sugary, wheaty aroma. Medium-bodied and yeasty. Hoppy, nice citron flavor. Like yeasty semi-triple flavor. Good and tasty with all this yeast maybe good for cellaring too.

Bottled. Hazy golden with some sediment. Orangey, lightlyflowery nose. Lightly yeasty with soft, lively mouthfeel and lots of fresh hops. Really bitter finish. Excellent stuff from an excellent brewer!
