Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is lemons, apricot and dry fruits. Some slight alcoholic hints. Flavour is vanilla, strong apricot and dry fruits. Pleasantly hopped. Hides the ABV very well and has a very smooth and quite full palate. Refreshing.

A hazy pale brown beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of both malt and caramel. Nothing special - especially for the style.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 30 Sep) Opaque black colour with brown, disappearing, head. Intense, roasted nose with lots of black, bitter coffee (espresso) and citrussy hops. Roasted taste with loads and loads of serioulsy roasted (French style) freshly ground coffee, bitter chocolate, notes of raisins and prunes, leaving with a very long, bitter finish (bitterness coming from the citrussy, piny hops as well as the roasted malt). Full body, very tasty, but still rather smooth mouthfeel. Oh dear, this is awesome stuff. Absolutely wonderful!

Hazy yellow, small white head. Yeast, fruits and banana esters in the nose. Fruity: peach, apricot and sugars in the flavor. Very well-balanced, like real Belgian.

On draught at restaurant. Clear gold colour with large white head, looks like a pilsner as drawn by an artist. Herbal nose. Malty flavour with full taste. Fine finish long and dry. This is a wonderful pilsner. I loved it.

Bottle thanks to xproudfoot. Straw-colored to light orange body, thin ring of off-white carbonation. Aroma of burnt caramels and earthy, grassy hops, herbal, almost medicinal, reminding me strongly of instant tea. Flavor dominated by medicinal hops, grassy, and leafy, with light bready malts. Sweetened tea with a slice of toast on the side. Good complexity, soft body. Well made.

Bottle, a gift from Odeed! Nose is of some citrus, some grainy maltiness, with a tiny hint of tartness; Hazy urine yellow with a small white head; Flavor shows the citrusy hops, a little yeastyness and a noce bitter hop finish along with the tongue-tingling palate.Tastes a lot more appetizing than it looks!

Bright light orange in color, with zero head - overly sweet, syrupy, almost medicinal aroma - moderately sweet, honey-like flavor, tempered by a tiny bit of hop bitterness and a tea-like herbal character - way out of balance, and almost artificial-tasting - I swear I taste uncalled for aduncts in this beer - the swetness and alcohol burn make it remind me almost of malt liquor - not completely terrible, but the appearance and aroma really put the nail in the coffin.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Pale gold with some sediment in suspension. Carbonated bubbly head. Some banana esters, bit farty maybe. Some lemony fruit in mouth. OK, but I expected better.
