Pours hazed yellowblonde. Medium sized, medium-good stability white head. Scent is very inviting, hoppy for sure. pine, danky, that amarillo aroma also nicely shows, but doesn't feel too boring. Not giving away being belgian, which in IPA's is to me always a good thing. Taste is Medium high bitterness. I expected it to be way sweeter, but I'm happier with this. not dry, but balanced for sure. Hoparoma is a bit milder than anticipated, mostly delivering Amarillo aroma's. bit danky. Lower on the citra. Medium body, towards medium thin (especially if comparing with the style) and medium to medium high carbo. Feels like a hint of improvement could be done here. Nice lasting bitter finish.
Not a savouring beer, not a hunt-thois-down kinda beer, but surely, when my local bar that carries very little craftbeers has this (they are the ones that handed me this taster) I will happily drink this from now on.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As "Troubadour Aura". Magma was a hoppy beer, this is not. Ripe fruit aroma with notes of dried fruit, plum, floral yeasty notes, malt, ripe apricot. Mild to medium sweet, light bitter. Likeable.

Bottle drunk at home after a super long day. Lightly hazy amber, decent well-holding head. Nose is pretty mild, citrus and stone fruit. Body is pretty dry and flavor a little acidic, strong grapefruity bitterness that's relatively smooth. Straightforward and not tropical nor piney. Yep that's a bitter bomb of a hoppy Belgian blonde, not for the faint of... tastebuds.

Backlog November 2009. Reddish amber body under a big, dense beige head. Nice aroma with malt, caramel, dry fruit and a slightly acidic touch. Taste has mild roasted malt, toast, caramel, dry fruit and a balanced combination of sweetness and acidity. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. Nice one without blowing you’re mind with flavours.
gave a cheers!

Bottle at home. Slightly unclear golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, sweetish notes with soft tart, grape peel. Quite balanced, not bad.

330ml bottle, surprise final (not final) beer @ Tim's place in Gent. Unclear golden appearance with a mousy white triple head. Not convinced this is a combination that goes well together unfortunately (athough I sense Topa's version was more successful with their bittersharp basque cider). Creamy triple yeast seems jarring alongside the sweet Ruwet cider which isn't welcome one bit. Nope.

Sehr starke Karbonisierung. Trocken herber Beginn, apfelig, wenig kräutrig, bitter zum Ende. Komisch. 9/7/8/7/8/7
