Many thanks to kappldav123 for sharing. Smooth grainy beginning. Easy to drink, fruity with a smooth and mild floral back. Sessionable, grainy with a nice floral ending over a grainy bitter body.

Many thanks for this beer to Eric De Geyter. Wspanaly wyglad spora piana niebywale trwala powywijana jak domek slimaka. Wyglad to bursztynowo-morelowa barwa, metne dosc mocno, Aromat swierzej skorki chleba. W smaku tresciwe drozdzowy, skorka chleba, bardzo tresciwe, alkohol ukryty, do tego srednio slodyczy i spora dawka chmielowej swiezosci.

Huge thanks to JefVerstraete for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Malty-moldy aroma. Starts malty, moldy, some grasy notes. Bitter background. Finish could be more balanced, still a lot dry hoppy notes. Okay.

Bottle, many thanks JefVerstraete! Huge pop, but mo gusher. Clear golden color with fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, estery, peach and very Belgian, super fruit esters forward. Taste is the same. Sirupy mouthfeel with high carbonation. Tasty and sweet, classic Belgian Ale on the sweet side, and more fruit-forward than your average Belgian Ale (also very sweet, but it kinda fits!).

Bottle from LDW, Eke. Clear/light hazy golden colour, rocky foam. Nose of wet grain, cow fodder, some citrus. Taste starts bitter, malty, some citrus peel. Bit messy. Not very nice. A bit a disappointment.
