copper blond beer, slightly veiled, with a large, white, rocky head that stays on the beer for a long time and afterwards sticks nicely to the glass.
The aroma is fresh hoppy, fruity with citrus notes and slightly sweet from the malt. The taste first has a slightly sweet start that turns into a strong fruity bitterness. The body is firm and pungent from the carbon dioxide.
At the end there is the long soft bitter aftertaste. in short, a beer with its own character, suitable for every occasion

Medium creamy, cream-coloured head over orange-copperish beer. Aromatic, exotic fruit nose, hoppy, fragrant. Sweetish, malty, but with a fine sourish edge around the tonguesides. Good, short of being remarkable. Light to medium bodied, well-carbonated. Not bad at all, but I won’t get excited.

Hazy orange with big fluffy head. Typical stong, spicy, yeasty Belgian feel but with solid bitterness in the finish.

13/VI/14 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: VII/2015 (2014-626) Thanks to Beerlover_Ben for picking this one up for me!
Pretty cloudy amber beige beer, huge foamy off-white to yellowish head, very stable, adhesive. Aroma: citrus, but not like American hops, more Euro hops. Fruity, with a Belgian yeast twist, bit spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, grassy hops, pretty bitter, dry, chemical touch, spicy, Belgian yeast, fruity. Aftertaste: grassy bitter hop, fruity, some yeast.

Bottle from my friend Eric drunk at Toji while reading Belgian Beer & Food Magazine. Served in a chalice. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a cloudy orange gold with a fizzy beige head that dissipates quickly. The nose is appetizingly fruity, citrusy orange, spices & a breadiness. The taste is sweet, fruity, hard candies, with a bready malt character. The finish gives some hoppy bitterness with a herbal somewhat minty taste. As it warms up the flavors open up giving a bit more of a Belgian farmhouse feel. Very tasty. The mouthfeel is soft & round, medium bodied with a light effervescent carbonation. It doesn’t come off as terribly complex but it is a damn delicious brew!

33 cl. bottle split costs & contents with Kogymo. Procured from Willems. Hazy orange with a solid white head. Nose carries surprisingly hops, not overt but clearly there and quite enjoyable, oranges and light pine resin, fruity, touch flowers. Taste is a touch more yeast forward than hoppy but still with some nice hops. Sweet white bread hops, oranges, faint pine, touch sweetness, fruity, orange, some sweetness. Body is a touch yeast, low on bitterness. Surprisingly nice, needs less yeast & more hops but enjoyable for sure.

Bottle shared @ weekly tasting. Hazy orange golden color, huge white head that lasts for quite some time. Aroma is surprisingly hoppy. Taste malts, hops, a nice moderate bitterness. Unexpected nice beer from a quite unknown small Belgian brewery. Nice surprise. Medium body and carbonation. Go on guys, hope there’s more to come.
