330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orangey dark golden to amber colour with huge, frothy, reinforced, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, yeasty fruity, and slightly bready malty aroma, hints of apricot, mirabelle, nectarine, fruit esters, some green apple, minimally dusty, yeasty overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, pale malty and yeasty fruity, notes of apricot, mirabelle, nectarine, peach, hints of green apple as well; minimally watery passages. Rather clean, not too sweet - nice.

Cloudy dull gold, pillowy off-white head. Smells hoppy and spicy - citrus hops, green pepper, background malts, some dried apricots. The taste is light sweet bready weizen like malts, low bitterness, low spice - vaguely like a weizen. Very well.

Bottle from a Carrefour in Bruges. Pours clear golden with a lasting, lacing-leaving, frothy, white head. The aroma contains malt, spices, caramel, orange and bread. It tastes medium sweet, light to medium bitter and light sour. Creamy texture, fizzy carbonation, medium long finish. Nothing really surprising. I expected this to be brown and I wouldnt call it a Christmas beer, but okay, if they say so...
