Pours a nice dark blonde beer with white foam. Great lacing when you drink the beer. Aroma is very hoppy with some nice flower smell. Smell is very soft and smooth. Taste hoppy with a powerfull bitterness that stays for a long time. Medium body beer with a very dry aftertaste caused by the bitternes.
Very nice brew. foodtraveller (41), Belgium

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2009 Wow this is interesting.
I really wonder what kind of yeast they used in this.
Taste is bitter, salty, sour, dry.
My initial impressions are a distinct bitterness of pine and citrus, followed by a yeasty sourness, hay, and biscuit dryness. More fruity flavors of the hops come out in the second and third tastes, as does more lemony sourness with a pervading dryness.
I could drink the shit out of this beer.
Aroma is caramel apples, pine and citrus hops, a bit of cider and yeastiness.
Cidery and piney as I drink more with fruity hoppiness coming out more, and a touch of bubblegum
Still dry and pleasant.
Enjoyable.
