Hazy amber. Aroma is caramel, malty juices, some prickly pear. Taste is nothing much. A bit sharp at the beginning, a tiny bit of sweetness later. Why should you drink something like that?

Bottle from Carrefour in Ghent. Pours clear amber with a quickly thinning, off-white head. Aroma of brioche, almond, candi sugar, candied plum & orange, cake, red apple, green tea, cinnamon. Taste is medium malty sweet, caramel & brioche in balance with candied orange; light herbal bitter middle brings green tea with sugar, some spicy cinnamon & cookie dough, faintly nutty (almond) too, vague sourish fruity character. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering caramel (in a refined manner), sweet brioche, yeast, candied fruit, and some subtle warming liqueur alcohol (amaretto almost). Medium body, slick/creamy texture, fizzy to lively carbonation. Subtle strong Amber Ale but with character, very nice.
