Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a big light brown foamy head with great retention and some good lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian malt is dominating with some hints of dry fruits. Taste is also dominated by nice toffee Belgian malt with some candi sugar and some dry fruits such as figs and plums components. Body is about average with some good carbonation and no alcohol could be notice. Overall, I would have to say that this beer was very well done for the style.

Misty blond color. A Belgian Ale, with a mild aroma, and a better taste, mixing some malt, spices and a respectable bitterness, raising at the end.

Bottle, 8%. Gusher. Muddy dark brown colour, sparkling. Small, stable light brown head. Very yeasty aroma. The flavour is also very yeasty and slightly malty along with a little fruit and OK pepper. Yeasty aftertaste, otherwise watery. Very high carbonation. Does not taste its ABV. Would have been better if the high carbonation had not mixed the yeast into the beer.

Bottle, 6.2%. Distinct orange juice aroma. Quite cloudy orange colour, some grey and green. Stable and creamy white head. Sparkling, high carbonation. Some good bread notes in the flavour in a good combination with subtle apricot fruitiness. Yeasty aftertaste. Quite peppery for the ABV. Strange, but nice.

Bottle. Red brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, spices. Flavour is caramel, fruit, alcohol, spices, sweet. ok beer.

Hazy orange-gold with a dense, miscellaneous off-white head, leaving some lace. A bit sweetish, quite spicey nose (whiff of coriander?), quite aromatic. Human sweat flavour, peas, dry grain or greenmalt. Ending on a perfumey note with maybe parsley or cilandro/corianderroot. After some time, the greenery gets more piney, resiny. Medium bodied, slick, nearly viscous if it wer more heavy. Reasonable, quite perfumed beer, just a bit short of character.

Bottled (BB 11/2008)
Orange copper brown color, huge cloudy head. Fruity, crisp aroma (mango, pineapple). Bitter crisp flavor. Very hoppy (pine needles) with dry fruity notes. Tripel-like ale with long hoppy aftertaste. Nicely balanced.

Bottled at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. Unclear, brown body with a tan to beige head. It has an aroma of caramel and spices, quite nice, but maybe a bit boring. Sweet and lightly spiced flavor as well, and a sweetish mouthfeel. A quite pleasant beer, but a tad anonymous. (070103)
