2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, 5.0%. Ashtray aroma. Muddy yellow colour. OK stable white head. The flavour is fruity with some citrus and a bit of old yeast. Not harmonious.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
It is hazy, light golden with a huge head, and the foam keeps growing out of the bottle for a very long time. The aroma has notes of yeast with hints of sewer, light fruit and malt. The mouthfeel is very fizzy, rather annoying. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of yeast, dry citrus, other fruits and malt. The finish is dry and slightly bitter with notes of yeast. IMO a bit out of balance.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Huge light-yellow head, very fine and dense and extremely stable over fully hazy chromate yellow beer. Spicy, EU hops, something sweet in the nose (strange, as this is a full-malt beer). Nice, fresh aromas, whatever. Dry, again rather spicy taste, with more hops that are present, but missing a bit of distinction maybe. Peppery, chamomille-like flavour, and faintly sourish. Titillating, spritzy MF, refreshing even, but fading in taste. By far the best of ’t Alternatief tasted. This could vie with the subtop Kölsch beers, from which it has a lot of characteristics. But certainly not one you’ld want to age.

Sampled at Zythos Beer Festival, March 7th and 8th 09 Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet malty base gives way to a reasonable bitterness. Quite full flavoured even a touch of spicy milk chocolate comes from somewhere? A nice beer but suffered from being consumed alongside the De Dolle Cosmic Porter which was stunning.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Managed to catch most of the beer in a glass thanks to reading previous raters’ comments- this one exploded just the same. Settles into a hazing yellow-amber with a slim, creamy head. Pleasant, lemony aroma with hints of horse, grassy hop, pine, lemongrass-like spice and suggestion of actual lime or lemon juice, like a Berliner weisse. Sharp, spicy flavour - coriander and maybe ginger, with a more unusual chick pea-squeezed-with lime and lightly coniferous, pine needle character taking over. Lime juice and crackers aftertaste. Unusual, likeable brew with good spucey, grassy hops and that dash of horse.
