1 pt. 9.4 fl.oz. bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8%. Hazy deep golden colour, huge white head. Intense aroma of guava and other tropical fruits, Belgian ale yeast and mild spices. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour is "Belgian", but with the unusual addition of guava. Drier than expected. Spicy / peppery finish.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy pale amber, small head. Syrupy nose. Sweet with full body and clean mouthfeel. Blown up and relatively shallow with some crystal malt and slight citrus. Fairly low bitterness. Superficial.

Fluffy, dirty-cream head over hazed orange beer. Starting with other grains, then obviously very fruity, but finally yeast-determined. Yeasty, bitterish-spicy and fruity overtones in the background; citrus,...? Guave no doubt, but unidentifyable. Feels very spritzy, even fizzy. Hmm. I’ve had better, saison, fruitbeer or other...

Bottle from Brewdog Aberdeen. It pours hazy orange-amber, with a thick fizzy off-white head. The nose is Belgian yeast, spice, sweet caramelized banana and pear. The taste is guava, banana, hay, boiled sweets, peach, pear, red apple, orange and light spice, with some tartness in the finish. It is medium bodied, well balanced and has fine carbonation. Very fruity and tasty stuff.
