Hazed gold color with big poof of white foam, decent rings of lacing. Scent is of juicy and fruity hops blended with a spicy and hay like backbone. Taste follows scent with juicy grapefruit and the backbone is lightly musted and grainy malt, finishes with a light sweetness. Medium bodied, grainy on palate and active carbonation. Solid Belgian IPA which brings some farmhouse qualities.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a huge blonde foamy head. Yeasty and slightly sweet malty aroma with lemon-fruity and herbal, slightly flowery hoppy notes. Moderately bitter flavour, medium bodied, slightly fizzy carbonation. Malty base with fruity and slightly vinous side effects, combined with a present herbal and slightly floral hop character; almost dry malty, subtle fruity and herbal hoppy finish with a rather harsh bitterness in the aftertaste. Lacks balance but is still pretty likeable and hops orientated, at least by Belgian standards (08.III.09).

33cl bottle bought at beerplanet, Bruxelles. Pours hazy orange with a creamy egg white head and lacings. Nose is yeast and hops, piney, floral and citrussy. Taste is yeast and hops. Fruity, floral, hoppy and bitter. Medium bodied. Crisp. Ends dry. A fine hoppy Belgium.

Bottle from Wine & Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. What a gusher. Took two glasses to absorb it. Pours hazy light amber with a truly humongous light bubbly off-white head. Aromas include a lot of yeast, some citrus, and a little malt. Darn’d if it don’t seem a bit soapy. So what aroma soap, not sure. Medium body with rather smooth carbonation. Flavor is really spicy hop over malt. Rather peppery. Something like grapefruit rind. Slight burn down the gullet. This one is just so out of control. A bit of barnyard seems to be present. An exciting adventure from start to finish. Almost genteel after it settles down for awhile. Good ale. Really.

esplosiva nel vero senso della parola sollevato il tappo la birra fuoriesce di gran carriera nel bicchiere ne è rimasta ben poca ma il luppolo la faceva da padrona in bocca ben luppolata e secca amara sprero di riuscire ad riassaggiarne un po di più riassaggiata le note luppolate sono meno intense ma sempre presenti buona

11.2 Belgian grenade bottle, which began gushing out immediately upon opening. After getting it under control, it poured a thick, yeasty golden color with a large foamy head. Lots of hops come through in aroma and taste, but the creamy yeastiness keeps it highly drinkable. A very well done beer by one of Belgium’s newest players.

Very hazy golden beer, with a seriously frothy head that continues to grow after the pour - bright and fruity aroma of orange, mango, pear - strong earthy hops in the nose - belgian sugar sweetness mingles well with the fruit character - full but soft in the mouth - really powerful hop bitterness and strong herbal character - the character imparted by the belgian yeast takes a back seat, but adds some fruitiness and light phenolic character that combines really well with the hops and herbal notes - tastes like a really hoppy saison because of this - super tasty.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a huge amount of not so pleasant floaties. An extremely lively, rough, white head. Very perfumy, fruity aroma. Medium body with sweet fruit notes, yeast and then unfortunately the typical crude Alvinne bitterness in the finish. 040408
