This is my absolute favourite strong Belgian golden ale-type so far.

It's bright straw-gold with a big, dense white head that lasts a long time and leaves fairly good lace.

The aroma is rich, fruity, and flowery. It's definitely Belgian-ale aroma but a bit more complex hoppy, flowery, citrusy.

The taste is similar with grain, hints of spice, nuts, pears, and honey. It's like Duvel or Delirium Tremens but a bit more complex and subtle, more hoppy, citrusy & flowery, with a little more bitterness.

I've had it in the bottle and on tap, but usually on tap.

Serving type: on-tap
