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

Beautiful, hazy amber color; generous head. Light aroma of caramel and grains. Medium body strength, the flavor is based on some sweet caramel and malt, with some good influences from the yeast; the bitterness is correct; but it’s a quite plain one, not exciting.

Hazy blond color; nice lace. A very original Belgian Ale, partially in line with the tradition, but with an understated hopping, making both aroma and flavor be also flowery and fruity; there is also some residual sweetness. Very interesting.

(bottle, with thanks to bierkoning!) Almost clear, amber to copper colour with mid-sized, slowly lacing tanned foamy head. Moderately sweet, slightly dusty toast-malty aroma with caramel, subtle fruity (berries, dates) and noticeable alcoholic notes. Sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel and a subtle fruitiness; sweet, slightly spicy and bitter finish with a bit of alcohol coming through. Decent brew.
