330ml bottle served at ‘t Brugs Beertje. Cloudy, dark orange body. Creamy, white head. Spiced fruity nose. Honey sweetness, ripe fruits, lactose, and pumpkin in flavour. Rather heavy to drink, but quite alright, though (Brugge, 03.05.2011).

Bottle from cracked kettle cons 2011-01-04 AR: yeasty, overripe citrus fruits (on the the edge to be rotten) AP: hazy amber, 4 cm high fizzy bone white head, slowly dimishing leaving some bits of foam F: strong yeasty flavor - hard to detect anyting else, to much. Great bitterness, black peppar spiced pumpkin soup, mucho dry finish, not my kind of brew, perhaps a bit infected???

11/12/2010 - 33cl bottle @ home
A little cloudy, orange to amber coloured beer, thick white head, unstable and non adhesive. Aroma: alcohol, chemical, yeast, rotten stuff. MF: little too much carbon, medium to full body, thick texture. Taste: alcohol sweetness, malts, fruitiness and hops. Aftertaste: hopbitter, a little metallic, spices. Not bad, not super duper either.

The "vegetable" is pumpkin, by the way, which I thought was a fruit, but I could be wrong. Appearance was glow-in-the-dark orange with no head. Smell was like a glass of orange juice, maybe some othe fruits in the background. Taste had light spice, fair amount of malt with lots of acidity, and a very sour finish. Overall, interesting. Pumpkin was, thankfully, not too obvious.

bottle at Delirium in Brussels - Pours hazy straw colored with a thin white head. The flavor is sweet with caramel and lots of spice. It’s bubbly on the palate and has some light hops bitterness in the finish. The high abv is mostly buried. It’s alright though I was hoping for a bit more.
