Bottle. Sweet, lightly spiced, and fruity aroma and flavor, with a pleasant bitterness in the flavor. Unclear pour, with some micro-floaties, and a white head leaving nice lacings. Medium to full body, and a fruity and slighlty spiced finish. A nice and enjoyable sweetish Belgian. (070914)

Bottle: Poured a hazy copper color with a creamy lacing white head. The aroma is very spicy. The taste is soft malt with that hoppy pine tree like flavor, there is also some spice.

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.
