Orange gold in colour with a fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast, lemon, oranges and some sweetness. Flavour was smooth, soft, yeasty and lots of citrus. Finishes with a mild bitterness

Best enjoyed before 29/10/03. Pours dark brown and fizzy like a cola into a trappist glass. Active foam quickly recedes to nothing. Dried fruit - date, fig quad-like aromas. Fizzy and malty with an abrupt raisin finish.

Golden orange amber with floating chunks. Citrus sweet smell, lead straight into its sour citrus taste. Leaves a very dry taste afterwards.

Color is a rusty brown with a decent sized tan head. Great blend of flavors really makes this brew special. Tastes of fruitiness (mainly citrus, but some apple), chocolate, yeast, and some spice tones. Nice medium body and overall a well balanced brew.

Bottled, 33cl. Cloudy, red-orange with a beige head. Light citric, yet sweet and malty aroma. Candi-sweet flavor with bitterness. Full-bodied and with a bitter finish. Rating: 6-4-8-4-16-3.8 (060328)
Bottle, 33cl. In my head, I had memories of a slightly hazy beer, but this time it was translucent. Deep, reddish brown body, with a nice, creamy, beige head on top. Good retention and pretty lacings. Dried fruits, some fresh fruityness, a hint of yeast and a good sweetness in the aroma. Some chocolate as well. The flavor is sweet and sugary, but the sweetness is far from alone. There’s a very present flavor of dried fruits, and also a nice bitterness that lasts. It has a slightly warming mouthfeel, it’s quite sticky and full-bodied. A weak note of cocoa is also present in the flavor. As the beer warms up a bit, a subdued sour note appeares in the aroma, but it’s far from spoiling the experience. I like this one, but I don’t think it would be fair lifting my score any further. It suits the colder months best, and it gives me a little christmasy feeling. Pity it’s so unavailable here in Norway, even though it’s available at Vinmonopolet. (071204)

33cl bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp. Attractive brown beer with beige sparse head. Rich, malt spice, cinnamon aroma. Fine in mouth, finish has more dark dry malt, spice, brown sugar. Hmmm. Yeah bit nothingy in the middle but the aroma and finish are good

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow ale with a super huge white foamy head with great retention. Aroma of sweet fruit with some very perfumy hops and a distinctive yeast presence. Taste is a nice mix of sweet malt with a floral and sweet qualities to it, subtle spices presence with some interesting yeast signature with a somewhat dry finish. Body is a bit lighter then expected. Very nice example of the style.
