Aroma of malt. Appearance is brown and cloudy with a medium sized head. Flavor of sweet malt and salt. Medium body. Expensive for what it has to offer, but good.

After I read the other comments, this is probably a like it or not beer, also regarding the high StdDev. For me it's a Like It! Triple style beer i guess. Hazy golden color, not the masses of yeast others describe. Aroma is spicy, banana, sweet maltiness, like the Duvel. Taste is complex, as fiulijn says: with a good malty sensation for a Triple.

High carbonation, but no head at all - dark ruby, good clarity - slighty yeasty aroma - flavor is very subtle, too subtle even - some plums and other dark fruits, vinous qualities - watery finish - soft and dry, slight tartness - pretty boring.

The flavor is malty sweet. The color is dark amber with a small head. The flavor is sweet and malty with very strong yeast notes. A fine beer without being impressive.

Bottled. Reddish brown. Vinegary, earthy sweet raspberry aroma. Sweet, rounded and very candyish. Better balanced than most other Floris, but still the acidity isn't exactly overpowering the bubblegummy sweetness...

Pours a very distinct yellow/white with some silvery effervescence. Lots of white foamy head. Nice smell of yeast, clove and moderately citrusy fruit. Begins with a nice candied sugar flavor that is not syrupy or cloying. Almost like caramelized vanilla, nice and smooth. Some mildly acidic citrus flavors jump in the mix. There is a subtle yet wonderful wheat flavor in the finish and the alcohol is well masked. Low bitterness overall and a brilliant smooth texture. Great carbonation level in the bottle. Medium to full bodied. (I drank this in the middle of a night composed of lots of Milwaukees Best and lots more Milwaukees Best so most anything would taste great in comparison. Need to rerate)

Nice very very dark brown color. Good head and all around good taste and aroma. Sweetness in the taste and good belgian body. I would never turn this beer down.

Slim white head. Pale hazy orange. Alcoholic nose, but at the same time fruity - estery. Some very pale coloured malts. Surprising, but the nose is quite delicate. Flavour of orange zeste. Alcohol, but more like cheap hard liquor. Cookies, pie crust, sweet, aroma of unripe peach. Soupy, oily mouthfeel. Alcohol obviously diminishes the mouthfeel, but I get an impression of quite high attenuation too. Alcholburn, warming. Aftertaste as if apricots on (rather cheap) brandy. To me, a mixture of very good craftmanship and commercialism - just as the ridiculous name & label. Gimmick on a well-crafted, but not really exciting ale.

Surprising to be the first. This is actually the bread-and-butter pilsener of Huyghe. The name refers to a 'very special' kind of barley, priced by lagerbrewers. (draught) Pale gold. Slim but good lacey white head. Very little nose - cold doesn't help. Very grainy taste, definitely lot of restsweetness. Very little bitterness. This is a very grainy/malty pilsener. Light mouthfeel. Even no bitterness in the aftertaste. Oh well. Swill.
