Cloudy gold with little white head. Blond fruity & slight spicy. Light sweet & good aroma. Very pleasant in taste also. Medium bodied & well balanced. Easy drinkable & perhaps a bit too simple.

Bottle. Unclear, yellow-orange body, with a dense, white head. Sweet, lighlty spiced aroma with fruits and pale malt. The same goes for the flavor, but there’s also a pleasing bitterness. The bitterness is also present in the finish. Medium body. Nice. (070914)

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Nov 2007) Golden colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with peaches and spicy hops. Possibly a hint of smoke. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of tropical fruit, apricots, pineapple and spicy hops in a fairly bitter finish. Nice belgian blond.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Mahogany colour, brief head. Woody nose with plums and nuts. Medium sweet with elegant, slender mouthfeel and flavour profile. Restrained almondy yeast character. The greatness of this beer is the restrained, unintrusive flavours together with the elegans, making me curious to try more.

Dark brown color. Mild aroma, quite typical Belgian, some caramel and some esters from the yeast. The flavor has some caramel, light yeast fruitness, but a bit poor overall.
