Bottle pour into tulip glass from Total Wine & More, Danvers. Appearance is lightly hazy (fine dark particulates) dark orange/light brown with nice, lively sparkle, 2-finger off-white frothy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong candied sugar and caramel, milder tart fruit. Taste is strong candied sugar and caramel, sweet and tart fruit, mild alcohol. Palate is light bodied with thin, frothy texture (like effervescent champagne) with lively-to-fizzy carbonation, finish as taste. Overall, strong and sweet but I just wanted to let it sit for half an hour or so for the carbonation to ease. Would be better a bit fuller and less carbonated. Still enjoyable.

certainly different than the 8. Tastes significantly lighter. it is quite earthy as well, doesn’t have quite the caramel-bubblegum belgian yeast flavour i like. the tea flavour does complement the earthy though. online belgian beer factory bottle. Upgraded from 3.5 march 2019
