Aroma has yeast, chalk and citrus. Honeyish flavor with citrus, chalk and some butter. There is just an acidic edge in this beer.

Strong grapes aroma, just a bit yeasty and chalky. Herbal, yeasty flavor with curacao. Just a bit of banana. The aroma is good, the flavor disappoints because the herbal yeastiness dominates.

Great beer, but not worth the top 50 position IMO. Dutch Ratebeer meeting, 1 1/2 litre bottle. Chunks of yeast floating. Orange liquor aroma. Malty, alcoholic flavor . Orange, peppery and a hint of chocolate. A bit too much of everything to earn a top rating. In der Beschränkung zeigt sich der Meister (in the limitation the real master comes up).

Golden color with some orange tones, a bit hazy. Frothy head. Flowery aroma with peach. Good lacing. Sweet apricot flavor with honey and orange. Some fairly well hidden alcohol. A bit too sweet and not very complex, but a nice fruity strong beer.

Not one of the best in style in my opinion, The body is a little thin for being so big in abv, the belgian yeast candy flavour isn’t so prominent. online saveaur bier

Aus der Flasche 2015-03 getrunken. Oh ja hier treffen eine deutliche Süße mit leichter Honignote und ein recht wuchtigen, malzigen Körper am Gaumen aufeinander. Super Lecker und ein Bier mit Potential für ein längere Lagerung.
