Darker, more orange, than the average belgian white. More cloudy also. Aroma is more yeasty, bit malty. Very caramelly sweet taste, very yeasty also. No, definitely one of the lesser belgian whites.

The aroma is faint, but sweet and fruity with notes of alcohol. It is an unclear yellow beer with an OK but fast disappearing head. The flavor is prickling sweet in the beginning, then a little thin, and ending on a strange bitterness. It also contains strange notes of oranges, yeast, and a flatness. Its an OK beer - but not super.

Pale gold-yellow, greenish shine. Rather compact, white head, collapsing. Very citrussy nose - like mandarines with a sweetish underslung - Mandarine Napoléon. Subdued coriandre, bit of orange peel, peppery. Dry-orange taste, herbal and peppery, yet sweet base. Bitterish retronasal. Mouthfeel is dry with alcohol. Not overly refreshing. Spicey-herbal aftertaste - rhubarb? IMO, the best Belgian wit, maybe with the St. Bernardus. Actually this is more and better than 'B. Wit' - not really my style.

Extremely cloudy golden orange color. Head is initially large and frothy, but diminishes very quickly. Aroma is very strong and sweet from honey. Very sweet honey flavor.

Rich purple-red color with medium dense head. Aromas and flavors of raisin and fig quite strongly - Special B malt anyone? Strongly sweet but balanced by a semi-dry finish. An excellent abbey ale.

Beautiful golden amber colour. Huge, impressive head. Citrus-fruity yeasty aroma. Very easy drinking with grapefruit-bitter finish. I love Belgium!

Bottled. Stunningly beautiful: Cloudy orange-amber with rich, firm head. Marcipan, toffee and grassy hops in the aroma. Sweet and full bodied. Yeasty and funky. Honey and almond in the finish.

Deep red, slightly unclear with a good head. The aroma is light with hints of yeast. The flavor is soft , fruity, a little flat and a little sour and yeasty.

Fruity, spicy and vineous aromas - Apple, cider and bubblegum evident. Hazy redbrown, creamy head. Fruity (apples and bubblegum again), some malt and cedarwood, a bit yeast in the aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel.
