Pours a lovely looking amber brown with a frothy off-white head and a sweet, berry fruit aroma with hints of yeast going on. That yeasty sensation continues into the flavour, there's a slightly grainy feel to the mouthfeel, and you've got a mellow citrus bitterness on a fruit malt backbone

Clear Amber beer, white head. Light hoppy aroma. Flavour is light zesty hop, a little breadiness, malt. Quite dry but refreshing. Not amazing but drinkable.

Can from Aldi. Bit of a strange combination this – the flavours of a Belgian style beer combined with the hoppiness of an IPA. Has an arokma of banana and bubblegum. Pours a rich orange brown with a generous cream head and light carbonation. In the mouth there is bitterness of green hops, contrasting with banana, orange and cereals. Finish is rather yeasty. As I said, a bit strange – but I like it !

Tight off white head left a good cover on a rustic coloured still body. Sweet aroma with spices & yeast. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with a tingle on the back & cloying aft. Bitter/Sweet tastes of malt, spices, tea, berry & jam with tangy pepper finish. Nice but not sure about it being Belgian Style 330ml can and my first IPA- Belgium style if it truly is one. Clean amber pour, two finger off-white head, very good lacing/retention. Aroma is bread malts, spice, yeasts but not getting much orange peel or citrus; decent though. Taste is toasted malts, a surprising chocolate element, spice and the orange peel does come through now. A mild bitterness at the end. Quite smooth and low soft carbonation works well with this. Overall the best beer I've tried in Aldi to date.

Can from Aldi. Deep brown in colour, with a rocky, off-white, head. Caramel, toasty malts, some berry fruits, hint of spice and Belgian yeast before a drying finish. Good.
