Wont go over the taste and all that as others have it pretty spot on. I would just like to add I am inthe province of QC Canada and live in a small town and this beer is widely available even at the local groceries. It's widely available in 6 pack of 341ml bottles or the bigger 750ml bottles. It"s one of my favorite drinks and my goto choice of beer.
Here's a picture of the big bottle which I kind of like!

Drank straight from a 341 mL bottle like in the photo.
Smell: Smells like a white; orange peel, some different spices, perhaps coriander. Couldn't get a good smell from the
bottle's narrow mouth. Don't notice the booze.
Taste: Spicy, ale-like, on the strong side. Slightly boozy. Spiciness and some bitterness that lasts. A good semi-complex mix
of spices with layers. Perhaps some very subtle fruit like banana or orange. Spices dominate.
Feel: Lots of carbonation. Forward. Medium-bodied. Heats up in your mouth.
Overall: I was expecting this as another gimmick beer with a bad mix of spices. I actually like this one. It's strong, ale-like
with white tendencies. Heat and bitterness, slightly boozy. Layers flow nicely. A good stiff drink for beer lovers if you
don't like whiskey or something. Reminds me of something suitable at Christmas or a spicy fall drink. I recommend.

Pale yellow with white head. Lots of bubbles.
Some Belgian yeast on the nose.
Tastes of citrus pepper coriander wheat Typical Belgian style with extra carbonation. The 8 % ABV is quite present and warming.
Pleasant enough and reasonable price. Easy to drink, nice balance of sweetness and hops. Head is persistent.
This beer is brewed by Le cheval blanc under licence from Achouffe. There is also a darker version. Worth a try if you like the style.

A nice beer.
I will need to have it again to rate it.
I forgot to rate it at the time I had this one. Sorry

Nice blonde color with lots of carbonation and a 1-inch head with some lacing. Smell of hops and wheat with some spices too. Taste like a spicy witbier if you want. Nice citrusy taste and good hop flavours too, lots of spices also. Not a bad beer but pretty sure it ain't as good as the original (that I haven't tasted yet sadly.)
