750mL bottle, split many ways, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of pale malts, hops, and mild candied sugar. Flavour of citrus hops, candied sugar and some bready malts. Hides the ABV insanely well. Quite enjoyable.

Pours clear golden with a huge white head. Aroma has notes of malt, pepper and grassy hops. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

0.75l bottle. This pours a nice clear unfiltered champagne-golden body with a white lacing light fluffy white head. Lots of fruity hops in the aroma along with some strawberries, light fruity Belgian yeast and some nice sweet malts. It's lively carbonated, medium-bodied and it has a nice almost creamy mouthfeeling. Flavors are hopy, some sweetness, it has a really good bitterness and it has strong notes of alcohol and some pine in the finish. Good indeed, and I really like the nice little gnome on the logo - made by the brewmasters wife, Bas.

Bottle. Pours golden, with a thick, creamy head. Spicy aroma, with notes of citrus and herby hops. Flavour is lemon, grapefruit and some lightly burned malts. Zesty finish, with a bitter citrusy grapefruit.

Golden colour, fluffy white head. Aroma malty and belgian tripple like. Quite spicy, vanilla, citrus. Slight peppery hops coming through, and a quite strong alcohol kick. Flavour rather sweet malty. Citrus, yeast. Hops touch, peppery hops like in a Belgian tripple, and not as much hops as the name would suggest. Finish bit sticky with a hoppy bitterness.

From a 11.2oz bottle poured into my Chimay Trappist glass....first thing I notice is it smells absolutely awful...this will be interesting. Pours a hazy gold with a thick frothy bright white head that lasts for a while leaving good lacing. Aroma is straight nasty. Like hops that have spoiled then were thrown in a dank swamp. Something else is there too. Like a road-kill skunk...just not pleasant at all. I’m nervous about the taste, but here goes nothing...its surprisingly not bad. Medium bitter and lightly both sweet and sour. There is definitely some resiny hop notes there and even some sweet bready malt. Medium bodied with a bit of a sticky texture. Very fizzy carbonation and an average finish. Overall, its not bad. The smell is absolutly awful but the taste isn’t too bad. Nothing I would pay 5 bucks per bottle for ever again but worth the try once.
