0.33 l bottle from ’belgiuminabox.com’, bb date not readable. Foaming as hell, about 10% beer in the glass, so no surprise here. Hazy, amber with a massive, fluffy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, moderately yeasty-spicy and a bit fruity aroma of hay, peach, some clove and hints of gooseberry. Sweetish, malty, moderately fruity and slightly yeasty-spicy taste of peach, honey, clove, gooseberry and some hay, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally sourish, slightly yeasty and a bit peppery-spicy finish. Medium body, moderately effervescent mouthfeel (?), average carbonation. Tasty indeed, some hints of that typical, sourish De Dolle yeast are detectable which makes it stand out in that style already. Would be nice if they could fix the foaming issue.
