(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Sweet and yeasty malty aroma with notes of cookies, lemon and a tinge of honey. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly biscuity malty taste with citric and lemony fruity, also slightly zesty hoppy notes, accompanied by a mildly spicy touch; sweet-bitter malty and fruity hoppy finish. Aromatic and pleasant brew. 13.III.11

botlte from beer planet. they shipped it to me around 2011.02.01 and the bottle says Houdbaar eind 2009. WTF?? anyways, cloudy yellow brown, smooth offwhite head. delicate yeasty and mild spicy aroma, cellary notes (aging?) flavor is yeasty, apple fruity, dry, yeast (tastes like belgian and champaigne although iΒ΄d be very surprised if they used champaigne yeast in this one). i like the dryness and the not so agressive fruityness. there is also caramel and malts, but it does not get sweet. Quite well balanced, and, it seems, a beer that ages well. the beer appears stronger in the flavor than the 6.5%, but in a very good way.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, amber colour with a beige and dense foamy head of medium size. Lemony fruity and slightly zesty aroma combined with dark and cara-malt, accompanied by tolerable notes of coriander. Moderately sweet flavour, surprisingly light bodied with a modest carbonation. Cara-malty and slightly toasted taste with a present fruit-character with notes of lemon and red berries; mildly sweet and slightly bitter finish with a sour fruity touch. Pleasant. 11.I.11

(bottle, 33cl, gushing!) Hazy, golden coloured and effervescent hue with a blond and tall foamy head. Yeasty, fruit-accented taste with notes of apricots, lemon, as well as (phenolic) spices. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonation. Lemon-fruity and wheaty taste with curacao and mildly herbal spicy notes; sweet-bitter mildly malty and spicy finish with a tinge of alcohol. Balanced and not too spicy. 10.I.11

A 2005 bottle. Brown cloudy beer. Aged malt chocolatey caramel. Reasonable carbonation. Underlying minerals. Okay - probably past itβs best!

Draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear red color with a medium sized frothy offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. A tart and tannic aroma with some citrus notes. The taste is tart berries, cranberries, cherries and some leafy notes. Medium bodied. Strongly carbonated. Good beer.

Bottle. Inviting aroma of clean pilsner malts, honey, lots of grassy hops, and some farmyard hay. Light yeastiness, light spice character without added spices. Clear gold witha tall, fine head. Fruity, hoppy, slightly alcoholic flavor. Nice citrus hop flavors, fruity but not very sweet; very dry, actually, with a well bitter finish and lingering long. Wow! a pleasant surprise. like a very well-hopped tripel with a farmhouse touch. Nice honey flavor as well, without the sweetness. rich, full body. Great.
