This a damn close clone of Barbar, very strong in effect not necessarily in taste. In taste it is a great lunch brew (mine turned out at 9.6%) to lead to a nice relaxed afternoon. The flavor is a Belgian white beer/ale flavor with nice subtle notes of orange. Very tasty and although similar to yet different from other Belgians. Brought me back to my days in Gent and Brugges.
