Bottled. Hazy golden, lively head. Perfumy pineapple aroma. Medium sweet with spritzy rounded mouthfeel. Cidery and lightly fruity with a lighter body than expected. Evident Belgian style yeast character, notes of grassy hops. Well balanced. Very good - as usual from Unibroue.

Hazy yellow color. Lots of carbonation created big short lived off white head. Sharp citrus aroma with some sweetness following close behind. Complex fruity flavor: cherries, apricots, apples, pineapple, lemon and lime. Wow. The finish seems spicy with pepper and coriander plus a hint of alcohol. Really nice beer. Smooth flavors notes that meld together in an orchestrated way.

Bottle: Poured a dirty and hazy beige color ale with a big white foamy head with pretty good retention. Aroma of Unibroue typical yeast with a nice spice mix. Taste is quite spicy with some pepper with a slight dry finish with some distinctive yeast, which is all very pleasant. Body is full and beer seems not to be too filtered which I appreciated. Alcohol was well hidden and overall balance was remarkable. Overall, this is a very nice strong Belgian ale and way better then expected – the bottle had been aged for close to 8 months, which may have help with the meshing of the flavours.

This beer is a lightly hazed golden color with a thick and frothy white head with decent retention. Fair amount of lacing as well. The aroma is yeasty with some pepper and citrus. Medium-bodied with a spicy character of cloves and pepper. Some citrus, wheat and yeast flavors as well. The finish is spicy with a nice orange peel finish. Pretty good overall.

Cloudy yellow-orange body, thick cream head. Aroma of fermented fruits- white grape, pear, etc., with caramels, bread, and spice. Sweet body with fermented fruits (again, white grape and pear, with hints of apple), bready, strongly estery with a heavy spice character. Heavy, syrupy body with a potent alcohol presence. Very nice.

While ugly - dull beige with a loose head - and smelling mainly of foot, mushroom and stiff alcohol, this isn’t bad at all. The full body shows a lively dance between coriander, green peppercorn and dried sichuan pepper skins versus alcohol, over a backdrop of warm and doughy thick pale malts.

Golden/straw colored beer with high, fizzy carbonation - sweet honey aroma, with some background earthy/yeastiness, a touch of lavender and peach - I taste a lot of tropical fruit in this (apricot, pinapple mostly) - somewhat sweet up front, but a spicy driness swells up to balance it, with a hint of the lavender from the aroma, along with some other aromatic/flowery qualities - almost seems like a really strong saison/tripel-hybrid - pretty good.

Pour is a bright hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity and the same yeasty zest you get from most Unibroue beers. Flavor is some spice and clove with a pepper finish. The flavor does not stand out as much as some Unibroue beers but this still has some nice qualities to make this one to look for before it disappears.

Bottle. Golden beer with a nice white head. Refreshing yeasty/spicey aroma. Lots of wit style spices in the aroma and flavor. Highly carbonated. Spicey, malty, yeasty, lightly fruity flavor. Lots of subtleties. Well made, but doesn’t have the depth of many of their other years. Pear, green apple, slight lemon. Nice and very drinkable. Hides alcohol well (just the slightest warming).
