Pale blond, the fine and regular sparkling ensures a fine and stable head.
Scent Slightly malty, a nice touch of alcohol, spicy. Feels like the sound shot of alcohol is igniting the mouth. In reality the tongue and palate are warmed. The taste is characterized by its roundness. The aftertaste is strong, long-lasting and dry bitter.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
1 pint 0.9 oz. (50cl) can, 8.5% ABV
AROMA: Sweet scents of lemon, banana, cloves, and yeast. NOTE: The clove really starts to come out as the beer starts to warm up to room temperature.
APPEARANCE: Pours a clear, straw-yellow, with a tall, white, tight head that dissipates at a moderate pace with moderate lacing. I'm a bit disappointed that the head doesn't last a bit longer, because it looks incredible when the beer is first poured.
TASTE: Mildly sweet on the front-end with flavors of banana, alcohol, green apple, and a hint of bubble-gum. The finish is slightly bitter and dry, with flavors comprised mostly of clove and a little lingering of banana.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with average carbonation and a slightly tacky texture.
OVERALL: This is what I would consider to be a "typical" quality Belgian ale. It's got your usual high-alcohol with flavors of banana and clove. Although, those flavors don't seem to be as prominent as they are in most of the other Belgian ales I've tried . What I would consider a little less "typical" is the addition of the green apple flavor, and the overall dryness of the beer. The green apple adds a nice way to differentiate if from other Belgian ales. However, the dryness is a bit off-putting for me, as I'm used to Belgian ales being a bit juicer. But that's just a personal preference, and a bit of nit-pick on my part. Otherwise, I find the beer to be of top-notch quality, and quite lovely to drink.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Pours light amber to dark golden, with a frothy white head that shows ok retention but not much lacing. The aroma has a soft sugary and slightly doughish base, with fruity notes of peach and pear, light spiciness and a bit of warming feel. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, but with that sweet/sugary base getting a bit too dominant and kind of covering the other flavours. It's overall still pleasant with a balanced, dry enough finish and aftertaste, partly thanks to alcohol attenuation. Quite warming, with some perceptible alcohol in the mouth: kinda feels like more than 8.5% abv. Medium to dense in body with medium to high carbo; but a soft, small-bubbled kind of carbonation that gives the beer a pleasant semi-full, semi-soft mouthfeel. Overall: enjoyable and nicely warming, but there are finer belgian strong ales.
