Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 15, 2004
A hazy orange beer with a dense head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander standing out. The flavor is a little sour and very spicy with notes of coriander and oranges before a dry end sets in.

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 9, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Dark amber with a huge frothy head. Strong hoppiness and pretty much no sweetness. Some yeasty fruitiness. Lots of sediment and naturally bottle fermentation. Credited to "Brasserie Artevelde". 261193

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - DEC 20, 2010
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with yeast sediments and a huge white head. Aroma is fruity, yeasty and slight metallic. Even from the looks the carbonation is quite heavy. Fruity yeasty, sweet malty, light toasted. Vague metallic touch. Subdued bitterness mixed with rather fruity flavours into the finish.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - SEP 27, 2004
Bottled. Golden colour, some sediment. Very sweet with some pineapple and grassy hops. Bold and sugary, but compared to the rest of Huyghe’s beers it’s fantastic...

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - APR 18, 2009
Bottled (from lahoublonniere.be, 9.4%). Hazy golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is alcohol, caramel malts, cookies, some fruityness and yeast. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, wooden, mildly spicy, flowery hoppy and also some alcohol, which grows the warmer the beer gets.

MiP (11258) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - AUG 3, 2005
Bottle. VERY yeasty aroma, I can smell it from a meter away. Also fresh-fruity and reminding me of plastic or paint. Dark golden colour. Big, stable white head. Flavour starts off sweet, turning peppery. Warming alcohol sensation, though not very pleasantly so.

KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - JAN 6, 2008
Golden with large head. Sweet aroma with yeast and flowers. Sweet flavor with fruits and flowers. Very Duvel like. Alcohol pretty noticeable.
