Nice clear orange tinted golden coloured body with a thick perfectly micro-bubbled white head - brilliant! Aroma of yeast, coriander seed, curacao, wheat, alcohol, a light spiceyness and a slight bit of corn. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive yeast and wheat flavours up front with a mild malty, dry grassiness following behind with a light hop kick and some subtle spices. Aftertastes are very light, not showing too terribly much - but some good dry tastes definitely show up. Overall, a pretty good and rather mild Belgie - definitely worth trying if you like typical Belgian ales like Duvel. This reminds me of that beer with a bit less complexity and some more muted characteristics. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled on 19-April-2009 at home in Washington.

Draught at ZBF09. Weak aroma, hint of spice. Cloudy dark yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is slightly citric with an OK bitterness, seems to come from lemon peel. Also a little spiciness from the hops, hint of grapefruit.

Slight gushing to huge, dense & fine-bubbled head; hazy golden beer with an amber shine. Good lace. Spicy nose, white candi sugar, and I seem to get faint coriander; citrus. Lots of yeasty esters. Bitterish-spicy taste, again white candi sugar (...), liquorice in the finish. Less citrussy than the nose, and less dry than expected. Bit sticky MF, rather well-bodied. Overall well-conceived, even if more hop-presence as better attenuation, would have served it well. Thanks to Ignace for the bottle-watch!
