A hazed orange amber ale with dark small floaties and a thin lacing off white head. A light sweet corn syrup aroma with light spices, curacao. In mouth, a rather cloying sweet rosewater with coriander, orange pulp, warming alcohol. Medium bodied. Too sweet for me. Bieropholie import.

33 cl bottle. Pours cloudy orange beer with an off white head. Yeasty, light herbal aroma with a sweet note. Very sweet malty flavor, some honey sweetness and along with a flowery note.

Bottle, 2008 version, at PINT Meibockfestival. Muddy golden orange colour, off white head. Aroma is very sweet, flowery, honey. Flavour is sugary honey, flowers, very sweet, malty, yeast. Medium bodied. Too sweet for me.

Bottle. Another gushy DeProef ale. Pours a light hazy amber with a large foamy off-white, clingy head. Aromas of cooked fruit and spice. Near medium body with mild and spritely carbonation. It is more sweet than not, but there’s enough bitter to help. Still, it is finishing sweet. Some floral/veg aspects, but there’s enough bitter to help that too. Still, sweet conquers ale. Nice, but not for frequent consumption - unless you are into sugar. If you like Lindeman’s stuff, you’ll likely like this.

bella schiuma, forse troppo poco voluminosa, ma sicuramente persistente soprattutto sul finale, quando ne rimane un mezzo dito. nel complesso buona birra, mi aspettavo di più all’olfatto ma comunque buona. ottima in bocca, con un palato non male.

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2011 Bottle, thanks to Jeffery. Tasted at his home. This one was way better then I expected. Got story’s like ’a beer with flowers", and I allready was expecting something that was not my kind of beer, maybe even hard to call it a beer. But when I got this beer into a glass, it started pretty good. The colour was golden, a bit orange, a big white head, that holds for a good time. Aroma’s that came out of the glass, surprised me in a good way. Fruit, a bit earthy-sour, I even think to smell a very little of the flowers, and spices. Soft, fruity, lightly sweet, but nothing overdone, good balanced, but maybe just a bit to watery taste. Citrus and spices, apple, good taste.A surprise for me.

330ml bottle, cloudy amber hue, with a big frothy white-beige head, leaving some laces, yeasty, fruity ripe apple, pear esters, with a spicy nose of light nutmeg, with some toasted, caramelized malt accents, with a hint of caramel sugar sweetness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a nice yeasty, fruity, caramel, toasty malt character with somecaramelized, spiced nutmeg, cinnamon, ripe apple, pear flavours, with an apple crust pie note and some toffeeish, brown sugar, candi sugar sweetness, leading towards a caramelized malt, nutmeg, ripe apple pie crust, lingering hop bitterness finish.
