Pours a hazy dirty amber. Aroma of sour apples, dirt, candi sugar. Flavor rather bitter and dry, earthy, almost leathery, with some banana-y fruitiness lingering toward the back, more candi sugar. Amazingly different beer, good.

Lichtbruin troebel bier met veel schuim wat mooi blijft staan. Daarmee is ook alles gezegd. Smaak is iets zuur en apart, citroen en muffig. Ik blijf dit een bijzonder bier vinden wat niet bij me past.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/15/2013. Pours slightly hazy orange/amber color with a 2-3 finger foamy and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lemon, pineapple, cherry, pear, apple, white grape, hay, straw, pepper, grass, toasted biscuit, musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, pineapple, cherry, pear, apple, white grape, hay, straw, pepper, grass, toasted biscuit, musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Good amount of yeast spiciness and earthy hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pineapple, cherry, pear, apple, white grape, hay, straw, pepper, toasted biscuit, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness after the finish from the carbonation. High carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly creamy/bready, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an absolutely incredible Belgian Trappist ale. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. A highly amazing offering all around. I feel this is at it’s best right around the 3 year mark, and this one was getting near to that age.

Pours dark orange with a massive foamy head. Aroma of urinal cake, tartish pear, bretta, yeast and stuffy notes. Taste is tartish, smooth and funky with mild hints of bretta, pear and stuffy notes. Finish is carbonated, stuffy and yeasty with hints of pear. A bit thin.

No idea of vintage or ABV, but at least this does not feel old
Aroma has bretta notes, earthy tones and some mild toffee. Flavour has strong urinal tones, tartness, grapefruit, mild apricot and hints of toffee. A bit foamy palate. Also some menthol in the finish. Refreshing and quite good; better than I expected.

Bottle. Some grass in the aroma, but mostly tasty malts. Heavily carbonized, but matched with a strong malt backbone, also no killing the hops bitterness. Very fresh palate. What a good beer!
