33cl bottle from De Hopduvel in Ghent. Pours a hazy pale yellow, with a white head. Flowery and citrusy aroma, with notes of yeast, and bitter-sweet, well-balanced taste. Very refreshing.

Ciocanelu from Romania

3.5/5  rDev -1.1%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5

From the label: "...brewed with only natural ingredients and herbs, typical for our region (sweet woodruff, angelica and blackthorn)."

Golden color, a bit hazy. Forms a fluffy head with decent retention.
Smell is dominated by the specific belgian yeast.
Although the ABV isn't that high, you can taste the alcohol. Tends to be more on the bitter side. I can't taste all those spices from the description, maybe they are too subtle for me.
Light to medium body, good carbonation and kind of smooth. Leaves your mouth very dry.

Overall it is a decent belgian ale. I am a bit disappointed that I couldn't taste those spices.
