Ferskenfarget med høyt skum. Lukter sitrus, karamell og gress. Det samme følger i smaken sammen med en god sødme. Passer godt til et ostefat.
uklar blond. Cremet hvidt hoved, som bliver sæbeagtig efter et stykke tid (ligesom sæbe, der flyder rundt på vandet i din vask) Velafbalanceret duft af citrus, orange, humle. Stærkt bitter, let sød smag.

More Belgian yeast in the flavor along with apricot, grass, dry hay and some spices. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a balanced bitterness. A fruity and nice Belgian ale.

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast, floral and citrus. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long yeasty, floral and a weak hint of pepper in the finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
Big white head. Hazy amber body with lots of floaties. Fruity mealy aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweet herbal mealy fruity taste. Mid-to-light body. Fizzy mealy mouthfeel. Mealy fruity aftertaste with herbal notes. Either my nose is screwed, or this is not really a very interesting beer. (0.33l bottle, from wine monopoly, Strømmen.)

330 ml. bottle. Purchased @ Willems & Zoon. BBF 02/01/2017. Hazy orange, creamy white head. Nose is grainy, sweetish stone fruits, caramel, dried peach, touch grapefruit, faint sweet white bread, touch nice hops, not bad; Taste is grainy, big esters, high carbonation, touch odd esters, candy sugar, touch other grains, a bit boozy, taste is a bit empty, high carbonation, finish is odd grains & plastic, taste feels a bit hollow and seems to lack some necessary fruitiness. A good amount of spices. Fount floral hops. Shows promise but doesn’t deliver on it. Decent but it feels like it could have been much more.
