750 ml corked and crowned bottle. Been sitting on this one for a couple of years now, but tonight we pop it! Honey gold pour. Firm beige head is long lasting. Earthy, bready, yeasty malt aroma has honeyish notes. Flavor is mildly tangy and yeasty with a wisp of funk. Middle brings spicy, herbal notes and a warming alcohol presence. It’s sweet, sticky and satisfying. Fruity and flavorful. Finishes semi-dry with dried fruit notes of apricot and orange. My 666th Top 50 beer rating.

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours hazy dark straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with floral and fruity notes. Bitter flavourbof hops, with sweetish kotes of Belgian yeast, malt and fruit, and touches of flowers. Bitter and estery aftertaste with malty and fruity touches. Warming alcohol presence. Decent work.

This 750 ml bottle was acquired quite a long while back, I'm ready to open it this evening. Nice to open a large bottle, just not seeing them much anymore. Pouring inside of my Chimay glass, the body is semi-hazy gold-yellow with a light topping of fully white foam. A decent nose in the style, fruit, hay and yeast. But the taste, well, it runs past the smell, big improvement. Apricots, grain, nectarines, malt, yeast, white bread, a touch of spice and field. Tasty and good.

Appearance- golden, with a huge clingy foamy head. Aroma is orange, spicy notes, yeasty malt hints, coriander, classic Belgian ale. Taste is orange, peppery hops, malty background, zesty spice, hints of cardamom, coriander, lemony hop undertones. Quite rich but very drinkable. Very well-done.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy orange amber, large frothy off-white head. Aroma: Malty, herbal notes and boozy hints. Taste: Over moderate to medium sweet, malty, herbal, hints of white pepper. Subtle notes of white sugar and alcohol. Lightly warming and bit creamy mouthfeel. Medium to over medium body, average carbonation. Nice, but not outstanding.

*rating overgezet* Fles gedeeld door BramL. Het is een troebel goudgeel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat citrus achtige geur. De smaak is moutig, bloemig, citrus achtig met tonen van koriander.
