33cl Bottle at De Drie Dorstige Herten. Clear amber-brown colour, big off-white head. Aroma of plastic, wood, light herbal, caramel, light malty. Flavour is dry, malty, bitter, wood, light plastic, bitter herbs, sweet caramel, touch, bitter finish, light hoppy. Light-bodied. Has some minor flaws, but this is an enjoyable brew.

Clear orange golden colour, white head. Aroma of alcohol, fusel oils, fruit syrup, strange malty. Quite bitter flavour, salty liquorice (salmiak), wood, wood varnish, coriander seeds, malts. Bitter finish, some caramel, some liquorice.
Strange beer. Judging from the other ratings I’m guessing it’s an off bottle. Warrants a re-rate.
(From 33cL bottle @ home. From trade with Bierkoning. Thanks!)

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are yeast, caramel, fruits, hops and notes of candy sugar.

Bottle. [thanks bierkoning]
Hazy orange amber with a big, creamy, off-white creamy head. Aroma has red berries, light tartness, esters, some caramel. High, lively carbonation, fairly creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is quite sweet, sugary caramel, light vinious, herbal bitter. Some spiciness and a lingering dry finish. Okay.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Hazy dark orange body with puffy head. Nose is fruity, hoppy, orangepeel. Taste is fruity as well, sweet, some malts. Spices in there as well, warms up in the finish. Quite okay.

Blond, hoppy beer, very well balanced. Fruity, a bit spicy too, nice malty aftertaste. This is just a great beer. I tasted it in Hellendoorn, where it is sold in the local supermarket.

Bottle: Big (off) white head that disappears slow, on top of a light cloudy orange amber colored beer. Smell is a fine mix of malts, barleys, sweets, liquorice, dough, cookies, something wood/whisky/oak ish in the taste. Good smell. Taste barleys, fruits, some sweets, more bitter, good bitter, herbs, grass, alcohol, nuts, warmth. Long warmth malty bitter aftertaste. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium body and a light sticky texture between creamy and light watery. The smell is really good, the taste a bit strong alcoholic, light dry and spicy, just a tiny bit unbalanced but not bad at all.

Thanks to bierkoning for that one. Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts malty and dry, a bit yeasty. Gets more and more fruity like apricot, modest sweet. Interesting!

Clear bright orange colored beer. Thick white head on top. Smell a little ginger, little malt. Taste yeast, malt, lightly bitter. Medium carbonation, low to medium body.

Special thanx to Bierkoning!!!
Orange-brown color, very cloudy. The beer foams up very strongly. Strong smell of aroma hops, slightly fruity, pleasantly sour. Starts with a lot of aroma hops, the spiciness is awesome! Fruity-sweet middle, again with decent spiciness, slightly sour, with strong yeasty aromas. Yeasty and fruity-sour finish, again with lots of aroma hops!! Finally, the beer leaves a scratchy feeling on the tongue!
