This is a good beer but I would be very unhappy if I had purchased this for the retail of $30. A dry, well-hopped bee. Lots of chalk. This is very well carbonated and the thick head as well as the abundance of bubbles in the golden liquid make this better looking than most. The body is fairly heavy. In addition to chalk, there is some clove and other light spices as well. Some yeast is in there but plays a minor role. Clearly well made, but I don’t know how it sells at the price they are asking. Thanks to Joebrew for this one.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Unclear, orange-amber, with a nice beige head. Sour-notes, wheat and spices in the aroma. Medium to full body, with a sweet flavor followed by spices and some wheaty notes. Quite nice. Rating: 7-4-7-3-14-3.5. 061028
Bottle, thx to Peer. It pours a hazy, orange body and a finger-thick off-white to pale beige head with good length. Nice, grassy, citrusy aroma with a slightly sugary maltyness. Sweet on the palate, with a good bitterness. Orange-peel, pine cones and grass too. Medium body, nicely carbonated. Bitter, orangey and piney finish. Not my choice for a Christmas beer, but it goes very well at other occasions. 101208

Bottle, 8.5%. Refreshing acidic aroma. Cloudy golden colour, small white head. The flavour is a bit rough, but pleasantly so. Fruity and yeasty. Typically Belgian. Dry finish.

Bottle, Oude Arsenaal, Antwerp, Belgium, 04-10-06. Poured a warm golden colour, with a good white fluffy head. Aroma was very hoppy and a bit yeast as well, taste was also refreshingly bitter with hops dominating, long lingering finish, most enjoyable.
