Pours hazy, dark reddish orange with a decent amount of foam in the Chimay chalice glass. Smells floral with some citrus piney hops lingering in there too. Tastes almost fruity like with a slight hoppy, floral finish. Decent drinkability overall. Would be interesting to have this beer when it was first bottled, before the hops started to fade. Still pretty good overall though.

Poured to a pokal glass.
A: The body is coppery to orange, medium to low haziness. The head is white, one finger thick, good retention and good lacing as well.
S: Lots of Belgian Candi and sweetness coming in. In the back, some hoppinness and malts.
T: The taste begins with a very sweet profile of Belgian Candi. Right after, there's some other profiles as if this beer had some oats or wheat in it. In the back, a medium hoppy profile is present.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is too high. Bitterness is medium. Acidity is very low.
O: Too sweet for a Wild Ale in my opinion, and drinkability could be improved but it's doable.

Uma cerveja turva, opaca e de cor ambar, espuma de boa formacao e de cor beje.
Inicialmente o aroma remete uma old ale, com notas de madeira e alcool, porem em sua evolucao, os esteres sobrepoem isalando aromas frutais, malte tostado e caramelo. No paladar, existe uma inversao de planos, o doce assimilado pelo aroma nao esta tao presente, predominando o amargo persistente no after taste. Final seco e marcante.
Uma cerveja muito complexa e surpreendente.

Hazy dark amber color with beige head. Aroma has caramel malt, some sweet, overripe fruits and some floral yeast esters. Taste is more yeasty, it even has some light brett notes. Also the sweetness from the aroma does not translate to the taste, it's quite bitter and earthy, but it's still fruity overall. Medium body with medium to high effervescence. Overall it's a quite interesting beer.
