Amber reddish color, cream colored foam, long standing, compact, and abundant.
In the smell malt, candy sugar, peach, sweet fruit, sugary. But not too much, in the end.
The taste is again all based on the sweetness, but without being undrinkable. Same notes of the smell, sugar,peach, ripe fruit.
Nothing remarkable, though, for sure.
In the aftertaste again ripe fruit, and tropical fruit, maybe a light spiciness, no bitterness.

A clear, dark golden beer with a thin head that leaves nices rings of lacing on the side of the glass.

Smell is light malty and has a distinct Belgian yeast smell with a fruity note. The smell also has an unfresh, oily smell which has a bit of dirty socks.

Taste is alcoholic and warming and also a bit higher alcohols. The malt is subdued and the yeast gives a fruity twist. Not the best yeast for this style, I found it to be unfresh and inhibit drinkability. I expected more of this brewery, but probably a lot of sugar has been used in this beer. The body of this beer is just a tad too thin and the beer has some higher alcohols.
