A hazy orange beer with a huge white head. Very yeasty, spicy and malty nose. The flavor is very fruity with notes of peaches, but also some spices comes thru, and the alcohol makes it presence known with a nice body.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, big foamy head. Aroma is flowery and hoppy with hints of fruits. Flavour is fruity with some nutty hints. Also hops is present. Wellbalanced and ok. Aftertaste fruity and yeasty.

Bottled, alc. 6.5% (BB 07/2007)
My 500th Belgian rating.
Hazy orange color, big orangy head. Sticky orange fruity-rye-alcoholic aroma. Fruity, yeasty, biter flavor - maybe some orange peels found too. Woody dryness in the aftertaste. Basic Belgian ale, not a real winner.

Bottled. Hazy golden/orange coloured with mediumsized creamy head. Fruity and wheaty aroma. Flavour is quite the same. Long wheaty aftertaste. Mouthdrying.

Hazy yellow, small white head. Fruity, sugary, wheaty aroma. Medium-bodied and yeasty. Hoppy, nice citron flavor. Like yeasty semi-triple flavor. Good and tasty with all this yeast maybe good for cellaring too.

Dark ruby, small mostly vanishing off-white head. Slightly spice aromay: ginger, clove and some chocolate. Crisp mouthfeel. Fruity, a bit spicey, medium-bodied. Malty base. Hints of grassy hops. Decent ... dubbel?

Bottled. Dark brownish amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma of vegetables, plum and some spices. Creamy palate, with flavour of weak plum, malts and hops. Breadish. Not much aftertaste to talk about.

Bottled. Hazy golden with some sediment. Orangey, lightlyflowery nose. Lightly yeasty with soft, lively mouthfeel and lots of fresh hops. Really bitter finish. Excellent stuff from an excellent brewer!

Bottled. Dark amber, brief head. Sweet and buttery with some lingonberries and almonds. Light bodied with soft, velvetty mouthfeel. Well balanced, and very drinkable for a Belgian ale.
