UPDATED: JUN 22, 2021 Bottle, pours deep chestnut with a big foam and a lightly fruity-spicy and sweet nose with hints of banana. Full bodied and warming, Simple yet it works. Fruity-sweet, slight tropical fruit notes, brown sugar and all-spice, a little spicy-creamy yeast, and a herbal bitterness on the finish.

UPDATED: APR 21, 2021 Aroma 7. Appearance 4. Taste 8. Palate 4. Overall 16. Brown sugar, malt, dark fruits, and spices aroma. Similar taste and more, very complex but well balanced.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2021 A refined wheat with airy foam and bittersweet fruits. A mixture of pear and green apple. Very complex. The body is surprisingly full and rich.

UPDATED: MAR 18, 2021 Bottle. Aroma of spice, orange peel, marmalade, light coriander, and anise. Mild orange/amber color, with one finger of off-white foam. Smooth dark fruit, some stone fruit, caramel, with spices coming through nicely, and Belgian yeast bite. Medium-heavy body, with lots of carbonation foaming up in mid palate. Rich and tasty.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2021 Bottle. Almost clear a.k.a. slightly cloudy amber/orange sporting a firm white head. Aroma of brown sugar, malts, candied fruits, vanilla, clove and assorted herbs. Taste is all that plus apricots, hints of apples, caramel, raisins, spices and honey. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is kind of sticky. It’s a little bit boozy and probably more than capable of creating an impressive headache if consumed irresponsibly. Good stuff. Improves immensely with time.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2021 Brown colour. Aroma is figs, raisin, dough, juniper. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Lively carbonation. Good.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2020 0,3 liter bottle. It's a nice beer, one that probably will return in my fridge.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2020 Ik beschouw dit bier van Hoegaarden als een echte klassieker, alleen al om het etiket. Hoewel het zicht en de geur wat tegenvalt is de smaak (subtiel zoetig) me goed bevallen. Mooi bier in een proeverij wanneer de 'intense bieren' nog moeten komen.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2020 Bronze légèrement trouble, fine mousse brune abondante. Arômes : poire, fruit des bois, café, caramel, épice. Amertume et saveur alcoolique bien présente. Une recette riche mais équilibrée.

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2020 Cloudy Brown color with a medium creamy white head. Yeasty with dried fruit stone fruit berry roast spices to the nose. Toasty malts with toffee and roasted notes. Dried fruits, raisins and berries with spices (clove cinamon etc.). Medium body with gentle carbonation alcohol warmth in the end with a sweet finish. Warmth going through a spicy aftertaste. Interesting beer hits you hard but very enjoyable in its simplicity.
