Can 50 cl. Courtesy of henrikb. Hazy and opaque amber golden with absolutely no head. Fresh and lightly citrusy nose. Quite full-bodied with sweet caramel accents and some fruit. The finish is fairly bitter. Not bad, just rather unspectacular. 230309

Tin shared by Marcus. Amber color with a slight beige head. Aromas of mild caramel and some sort of citrus. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavors of caramel, mixed citrus and light yeast. A rather airy dubbel. Quite refreshing. A good entry in the class of wierdly flavored Belgians.

16 oz can from AgentSteve; Thanks! Right out of the can I am hit with spicy brown sugar and a lime note; putting it to my nose I get some bubblegum, corriander, caramel, and candi sugar sweetness; hazy copper with a medium, lightly lacing, brown head; flavor is of belgian spices (cloves, ginger, and corriander), light sweetness, and a citrus note; there is a little bitterness in the background and finish, along with some alcohol warmth. I am going to have to get a bunch of cans for winter evenings!
