(Bottle 33 cl) A golden ale which is reasonably clear until I pour the sediment. Then the color is grey-orange. Very aromatic, along the style of a "Triple" or a paler trappist like Orval. Spicy and refined with quite a lot of sweetness which is at the same time rather discreet. Quite nice. 110304

Hazy golden color; creamy head. Nice malty aroma; mature. Quite smooth, malty; dryer at the end, well balanced by the bitterness, but a light metallic note.

Yeast completely floculating & in suspension. Orange-yellow, hazy. Nose is, not surprisingly, very yeasty. Dry and sugary at the same time. Some citrus. Taste is sweet with some overlying bitterness as from orange peel or bitter spices (turmeric, horseradish). Surprisingly empty mouthfeel, seen the yeast. Alcohol. Aftertaste just some more bitterness. Doesn't really convince me, truth to be told.
