3.6 2018/12/31 - Pours a hazy, dirty orange gold colour with a foamy, off white head that quickly dissipates and leaves no lacing. Aroma is citrus, honey, wheat, bready yeast, banana and caramel with floral and spicy notes. Taste is citrus, caramel, bready yeast, spices, wheat and honey with both herbal and floral notes. Mouthfeel is medium with sharp carbonation and a light sweet, herbal finish. Nice.

3.1 Robe dorée, assez trouble avec de la très fine levure en suspension, mousse moyenne, carbo correcte. Nez de fruit mûr, sucré, assez alcoolisé, malgré un degré pas si puissant. En bouche, c'est puissant et riche, assez sucré et fruité, avec un alcool qui se sent bien. Costaud, riche, mais un poil écoeurant, assez rapidement. Peut-être ne l'ai-je pas bue au bon moment (trop chaud).

3.5 33cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Lille, France. Hazy golden colour with a medium size white head. Aroma is malt, citrus, fruits. Taste is malt, citrus, peach, spices, wheat. Medium body, average carbonation.

3.5 Clearish, deeper yellow-golden colored, medium white frothy head, good lasting. Aroma is malt, some caramel, toffee, quite hoppy citrus, spicy and herbal notes, spicy yeasty. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel and toffee, less hoppy than in the aroma, again spicy, citrus and herbal notes, medium bitterness, spicy yeasty. Medium bodied, average carbonation, oily. Very nice aroma but the taste is more caramelish than hoppy, bit too much for me. (bottle)

3.6 Hay barnyard taste with some floral and clove notes. Pink peppercorn and aniseed finish the mix. Hides its strength well. Good belgium blonde.

3.8 Аромат солодовый с легкими нотками специй. На удивление пена полностью отсутствовала. Цвет бледно желто-туманный. Во вкусе чувствуется немного цитрусов и сильно отдает кориандром. Пиво хорошо газированно. Послевкусие согревает горло, ощущается солод немного хмеля и кориандр. Есть присутствие оттенка сладких ягод и легкой карамели. В целом хороший, крепкий середнячок.

3.3 Bottle from beershop. Hazy yellow color, white head. Big Belgian yeast, floral taste

4.4 Degustada en la Microcerveseria de Sabadell,de estilo belga,bastante gasificada,cuerpo ligero,poco lupulo,frutal

3.8 Bottle at 't Poatersgat. Hazy blonde beer with an explosive head. Fruity and spicy aroma with suggestions of sweet bread, banana, clove. The palate is pretty full with lively carbonation. Yeast is the expected focus here with a bouquet of fruit and spice in a musty basement.

3.9 23/08/2017 - tasting glass from a 33cl bottle @ the brewery. Orange colour with big white head. Nose is grainy, herbal touch, spices. Taste is malts, herbal, spices, sour touch, some hopbitter.

3.9 Blonde claire, claire, transparente. Col de mousse blanche bien calibré, très stable, compacte, crémeuse. Nez malté et épicé, levuré, léger houblon herbacé. Bouche très équilibré avec une douceur légèrement biscuit et une amertume houblonnée en symbiose. Notes maltée, levuré et épicée. Final moyennement amère, longueur moyenne. Corpulence et carbonatation moyenne. Peu ronde pour le type, car elle délivre une certaine sècheresse, certaine horizontalité. Une blonde belge forte finalement assez légère (d’autant plus que l’alcool est très bien masqué) qui frappe par son équilibre : aucune tête ne dépasse. Belle maîtrise.

3.9 I bought this bottle from the boissons service in Malley. I drank it in family at Bonfol. I personnaly found this beer pleasant, on the classical way of Belgium, perfect with mussels. The color is yellow, orange, troubled, huge white head when you pour it, carbonation is higher than usual, sensation of champagne, typical from these Belgian beers. The taste is malty, more fruity than the troublette, a bit sour, touch of apricot, some hop, giving a good nectar to read the greek history step by step, well balanced, taking stronger notes at the final.

3.9 Bottle: Served in a Chouffe glass: White head. Hazy yellow orange body. Nose of lemon, light citrus, soap, wheat, light malt and porridge... Flavour is fruity like citrus, lemon, tangerine, wheat, yeast, porridge, light rice, bitter... Aftertaste is bitter, fruity, yeasty... Low carbo, creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied.

3.2 Hazy deep yellow, big foam. Faint aroma. Honey and flowers in the taste, with yeast notes. Nice and refreshing.

3.4 White foamy full lasting head. Light amber colour. Aroma is moderately malty with fruity (ripe pear, apricot and peach) and light spicy and vinous notes. Flavor is malty with fruity (apricot and apple) and light hoppy tones, ending in a balanced finish. Medium bodied.

3.7 A hazy, a golden beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma has fruitness also with some notes of sweet fruit candies some spicyness and lemon. Taste has general europian fruitness, some tart apples, also lemon. Medium bodied, strong and refrehning carbonation. Balanced and good beer. Tastefull.

2.7 Pours a cloudy golden with a short white head. Faint nose. Lightly sweet. I don’t know where the ETOH is hidden. Not nearly malty enough for the ABV. Drinks very lightly. Competing tartness and sweetness, though at a subdued level.

3.1 Tap @ Kafe Belgie. Hazy blonde coloured with a white head. Nose is caramel, candy, bit of fruits, yeasty. Flavour of caramel malts, sweet fruity, yeasty. Slightly alcholic.

2.5 [backlog] 25-11-15 / 750ml bottle at home, bought in a store in Rochefort, Belgium. I started rating my beers with Untappd and a few basic notes. Now I want to rate them on ratebeer. So my rating sometimes lack some information. Just ignore it, it is for my personal statistics. Untappd-Rating 2.75/5

2.6 6 oz. pour, on tap at City Works in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Consumed on 8-11-16. Clear to lightly hazy gold. Small amount of beige head. Good lacing. Juicy, golden raisin smell. A bit of spice and dust in the aroma. Mineral, metallic flavor. Frothy in the palate. Medium body. Overall, a nothing beer.

4.0 C’est une bien belle mélodie que nous offre notre escargot saxophoniste. Les premières notes sont piano, permettant aux levures de s’exprimer et laissant en bouche des notes de céréales. La sonorité monte alors crescendo pour laisser place au houblon,l"amertume et des notes citronnées. Calmement, nous retombons alors, decrescendo vers des notes plus alcooliques. La longueur en bouche étant très appréciable. Nous regretterons que notre escargot manque de "caisse" et que la corpulence de la saxo ne soit plus importante. Son blond, tirant sur l’ambré, sa robe légèrement opaque et sa forte effervescence donne de surcroît du rythme à cette bière. Laissez donc vous porter par la musique....

3.6 It pours clear and golden with a huge white head. The aroma contains fruits, spices, yeast, honey and hops. It tastes medium sweet and bitter with a light dry finish. Medium body and lively carbonation. Quite complex.

3.8 Bière très agréable et rafraîchissante. Si vous aimez la caracole de base, vous allez adorer celle-ci.

3.8 Sparkling pale golden, sparkling lightly, big white frothy head. Mildly sweet aroma, bit chalky, soapy, cooked fruits, yeast, mild pepper. Light body, semidry, crisp, long fruity finish. Ok, flavor and palate work well, easy to drink, fresh.

3.7 Aroma: Medium aroma of malts, caramel, Belgian yeast, hops and spices. Appearance: Hazy golden beer with a slight/medium white/off-white head. Taste/Palate: Starts medium sweet with malts, caramel and Belgian yeast; ends slightly dry with hops and spices. Overall: This beer is rather intense, complex and balanced. A Belgian Strong Ale with spicy yeast tastes so great if it is balanced.
