Bottle. Sweet, lightly spiced, and fruity aroma and flavor, with a pleasant bitterness in the flavor. Unclear pour, with some micro-floaties, and a white head leaving nice lacings. Medium to full body, and a fruity and slighlty spiced finish. A nice and enjoyable sweetish Belgian. (070914)

Bottle. (6.5%) Hazy, golden beer with an off-white head leaving nice lacings. Fruits, spice-notes, pale malt and a tiny note of vomit in the aroma. Fortunately, the vomit scent was weak and far in the background. Quite sweet in the mouth, with some alcohol and spices, as well as pale malt. Quite nice and quaffable. (070914)

Bottle: Poured a hazy copper color with a creamy lacing white head. The aroma is very spicy. The taste is soft malt with that hoppy pine tree like flavor, there is also some spice.

330ml bottle from Hopduvel, Gent. Amber coloured with a decent off-white head. Sweet malt aroma followed by a bitter-sweet flavour and a dry finish. Good.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic. Amber, thick beige head. Some toffee, more of an amber than a saison (it was down on the menu as a saison). But the hop on the finish is decent. Candy sugar in body. Fine, not exciting.

Bottled. Hazy golden colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is bigtime US IPA-like along with some earthy and grassy notes. Flavour is leather, caramel, fruits and some interesting yeast. This is a very interesting brew from much I have had lately. Hard to describe but really good.

Hefig-malziger Antrunk, auch die Fruchtigkeit ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Die Malzigkeit wird im Mittelteil etwas stärker, das Bier bleibt aber einigermaßen spritzig. Ein leicht saurer Ton meldet sich und ist auch im Nachgeschmack noch zu erkennen, er nimmt aber nur eine geringe Rolle ein. Würzig-malziger Nachgeschmack. Test vom 6.9.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,11,10,9,6,10 - 9,60
