(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Pikklintu, 20121208) The beer poured golden and quite clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, Belgian style yeast and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with quite high carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, Belgian style yeast, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, fruity and bitter. Nice hoppy Belgian ale with a bit too biting palate.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of fresh hops, grass, dust, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, herbs, dusty hops, and hay, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

On tap at Christian Firtal. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Herbal and grassy aroma with typical De Ranke phenolics and mineral notes. Sweetish caramel and bread crust malty flavour with herbal hops and a great hoppy and bitter finish

On tap at Nuetnigenough on 12th November 2012. Hazy gold with lasting off-white foam and scattered patches of lacing. Hoppy aroma with some malty sweetness. Hoppiness in-mouth is tempered by rich biscuit malt and nuttiness - hazelnut. Finish is citric with bitter orange and some nutty maltiness. Zingy mouthfeel; medium to light body - easier to drink than expected.

draft @ ML Fontainas. Dorée, blanche. Arôme est fleuri et houblonné, pointe fruitée; agrumes, malt dans les tons Munich-carapils léger. Palais est doux et fleuri avec un beau profile citronné/agrumes dégageant un fini légèrement amer. Note de grains/caramel mais avec ce petit plus houblonné tirant le tout vers une IPA. L’amertume reste subtile et se mêle agréablement à un côté fleuri/fruité, fini sec et épicé avec un rappelle à la levure.

Textbook white dense lace over clear, if cold-hazed orange beer. Slight sweetish spicyness, and dry hops mixed with speculoos spices. Dried hops, giving both bitterness and aroma. Spices again, but more obscure flavourwise. Very dry finish and long dry-hopping aftertaste, bit herbal. Misses body. Good hoppy beer, but not a spectacular one.
