Bottle. A- Citrus, funky, weed. A- Dirty orange color, cloudy liquid, off white head. T- Citrus, lemons, slight funk, spices, balanced. P-Medium body, average texture, high carbonation, crisp finish. O- Drank in tribute to Walt Powell Memorial day. Had about a year of age on it. Can’t say it lived up to expectation for me, but it certainly wasn’t bad. The aroma smelled like weed to me, which was surprising.

330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange colour with a huge, long lasting off-white head. Sweet flavour of citrus fruit, malt, yeast and cinnamon with a dry bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture and soft carbonation. A world class beer.

Botella de 33 cl en barias ocasiones durante la época belga. La ultima en agosto de 2012. Después de todas ellas aun no se si me gusta o no esta cerveza. Cuerpo medio con 6.2 vol y color rubio cobrizo. Sabores ácidos y ligeramente amargos, junto con mas que aun no se si para mi mas o menos bien combinados. Necesario repetir de nuevo esta cerveza tan peculiar.

0,33 l bottle. Bottled exactly 13 months before. More foamy head than beer in the glass. Uncloudy light orange. Sour hopy on the nose. Starts bitter fruity. Later hopy bitter, with sourness. High carbonated. Don´t expected such a sour beer under the flag of Trappist.

Pours light amber, hazy. Looks great in its own chalice. Has a thick aroma, yeast and fruits also there. Taste feels something like lambic at first - with some bitterness and apple juice. Apple juice that is still fermenting. Aftertaste is more on the dry and hoppy side. Very versatile, great example of the style.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy orange amber color with large rocky white head and excellent lacing. Aroma of yeast, barnyard, wine, orange peel and lemon. Taste starts with moderate sweet and sour spicy malt, follows by yeasty and fruity acidity, while finish is moderate bitter. Full body, thick texture and lively natural carbonation in palate. I remember draft version a bit thicker and even better than bottled...

Slightly hazy orange brown with massive creamy off-white head. Slight funky, pine, lemon, fruity, herbs, light burnt sugar and a bit of brown bread. Taste is a great balance between tartness, sweetness and long bitter finish. Medium bodied with creamy feel, quite dry. Amazing balance And complexity. A personal favorite.
