'tis is the season. Clear amber pour with a stable, fluffy white head. Aromas of brioche, candied fruits, some marmalade. Taste is quite similar with some herbal notes for a decent finish. Not bad at all.

Draft. Probably out of a keg that’s been open too long. Poured amber, some spices etc, mine was flat but i’m blaming the keg not the beer.

Aromas are malt, toast, hops, and the Belgian candy sugar effect. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with a lingering sweetness from the candy sugar. Excellent carbonation and good body. Standard good Belgian beer but nothing too unusual. Very drinkable.

Solid Belgian fare, above average hoppy bitterness but this is De Ranke. Malty with ripe fruits and spicy yeast, good one.

Аромат хмелевой по Бельгийски, много травяных ноток, немного алкоголя и пряных ноток с цветочными оттенком, с намеками на сухофрукты и мед. Цвет мутный, темно желтый, пена при этом белая, пышная. Вкус слегка горче чем надо. Уже сильнее ощущаются нотки сухофруктов и пряностей. При глотке хмель и горечь усиливается. Снова вяжущий эффект от травянистости. Легкие медовые ноты в послевкусие. В целом обычный, но солидный эль.

Bottle from Beer52. A muddy brown with swirling sediment at first but settles to a hazy amber-brown with solid off-white top. Toffee, banana, earth, bread on the nose and taste. Has a nice malt complex leading to a bitter herbal and floral noted finish. Soft medium bodied mouthfeel with carbonation to match. Excellent.
