Clear orange, faint haze; yellow-orange thick & dense head, with confluent bubbles. Creamy nose, like spiced coffee milk. Ginger & some citrus, I suspect white candi sugar. Very toasted & spiced malt. This is not spiced, but spiKed orange juice, with the peel pressed in. Bitterish-earthy surrounding flavour, while deep down below there’s (quite) some sweet pale malt. Well bodied, some alcohol, rather dry. No individual faults, just not very exciting. Rather a sweeter tripel than an X-mas special.

Copper color; beautiful, rocky head; Belgian lace. Very nice, hoppy aroma, with some fruitness (most of all hop flowers). Smooth, very spicy, dry malt, good hop line (lovely hop flowers!); dry caramel at the end, when the bitterness comes out a bit more. Long and strong final. Excellent!

Bottled. Muddy pale orange. Sweet and peppery with notes of melon. Clean, fairly hard malt profile. Am I imagining the chili burn?

The aroma is very sweet distinct fruity with notes of papaya, yeast, and chestnuts. The color is between orange and amber and even though I poured it very carefully slightly hazy. It has beutiful huge off-white head though collapsing. The flavor is somewhat thin compared to the aroma and the alcohol content. The flavor contains notes of corriander and other undistinquisable spices though not any I'd like in a beer - which makes it rather weird. This is not a beer for me.
