ABV 8.5%
This strong, triple-fermented Belgian ale, proclaiming its multiple medals on the bottle, is a widely known and highly regarded example of the Belgian golden ale style. It has a light, high-rise frothy head that leaves light lacework down the glass, and a complex aroma of warm spices, sweet light-roast malt and fruit (apples). On the palate it is sweet, like an apple crumble, but not overdone. It is smooth with spicy malt, candy-sugar and orange zest flavours. There is a slightly syrupy quality, accompanied by an alcohol edge - remember that it is even stronger than Duvel. Aftertaste is sweetish yet not cloying, with a hint of coriander. A sweeter, stronger alternative to the aforementioned classic - doesn't stand close comparison, but a very good beer in its own right.
