(Bottled) Very hazy orange color with some strange yeast formations in the bottom, and almost no head. Slightly sour, fruity (banana) and slightly spicy aroma. Somewhat sour and acidic flavor with some banana and other fruit. Not that pleasant, though, to tell the truth. Medium-bodied, low-carbonated palate. A nice try, but I kinda prefer beers I can’t brew myself from a Brewferm kit...

Bottle (33 cl) from beerplanet.be. Clear golden, brief white head. Soapy, perfumy, and rubbery spice aroma. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with a bit harsh bitterness. A drain pour.

Just had the ambree before this one, was almost thinking to not even try the blond anymore... Pours out golden, head holds ok, just a bit small. Smell is citrus and spices, some honey, pretty weird for a beer, but not bad. Sour-sweet. Taste is floral, malts, yeast, sour-sweet fruits, just a light biterness comes trough. Refreshing beer, decent at summer I think. But the flora-fruits are a bit overwhelming, and makes the beer unbalanced. The spices and fruits/floral makes it a bit hard to get the "well-expressed bitterness" they are talking about at the description. There is some slight dry-biterness at the far-aftertaste. It almost taste like some of those drinks you have after sporting. Drinkeable, but not a beer for me.

Hazy orange coloured beer with a small white head. Strange skunky citrus-like aroma. Taste starts a bit acidic, after the aroma you’ll except worse. But then it becoms really sticky, sweet and much coriander. No good, avoid. (Bottle 33cl)

Light golden with a thin layer of white head. Pale malt and fruit ester nose. Moderately sweet with fuit accents and a nice hop balance.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy gold with lasting white head. Some spicy soapy citrus aromas. Not great had to pour the rest away.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a medium-sized, non-persistent frothy white head. Sweet pale malty and lemon-fruity aroma with a flowery and slightly coriander-spicy touch. Moderately sweet and sourish flavour, medium bodied with an almost creamy carbonation. Citrus-/lemon-fruity taste with calm spicy notes towards the fruit-accented and slightly bitter and tart finish. Not that what I call complexity but it is a clean and well-made, pretty easy-going Ale (11.IV.09).

Hazy yellow coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Fruity citrus yeasty touched aroma. Full palate. Finish is yeasty, fruity bitter with again a citrus like touch. Not bad, but not convincing in the end.
