Lubiere (6980) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 14, 2010
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.

Christian (8548) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 16, 2009
Golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of fruit, malt, bubblegum, and herbal hops. Sweet with dried fruits dominating the flavour. Some hot alcohol in the finish.

sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAR 21, 2006
Hazy darkish amber with a small but tight head. Strong, earthy countryside aroma of alcohol, pea soup, cow dung and flowers. Sweet-sugary-syrupy, malty flavor with toffee hints. Medium-bodied, syrupy, low-carbonated palate. Another brew spoiled with excess sugariness, and also too much alcohol in the nose. Smoother with yeast, but still too sugary.

UPDATED: JUL 28, 2009 33cl stubi bottle from Aarschot. Agree with other reviewers that this beer’s sweetness most likely covers up other complex notes. Clever packaging with the paper wrapping though.

lachesis (758) - St Idesbald, BELGIUM - MAR 1, 2005
Light amber with nice orange shine and with creamy beige froth. Intens aroma’s ripe exotic fruits, asian spices, dried banana-rings and sweet cakes. Rich taste of malts, honey, fruit-candies, sugar, some spices and acide-tartric. Beer with a rich taste that is out of balance. The alcohol side in not to well integrated in this brew.

dornoy (694) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - SEP 19, 2005
Original bottling to say the least. White head on a dark yellow body. It was presented as a sweetish beer, and so it was! Too sweet to my taste, really, even as dessert beer. I guess it would be good for a hot siummer day, but I can’t think of any meal it would fit with. Anyway, drinkable but not among my favourites.

Otje (676) - Veendam, NETHERLANDS - JUL 13, 2007
Hazy orange beer. Aromas of dough, fruit and flowers. Sickly sweet flavour with lots of malt, honeyish, overripe fruit and some faint bitterness. Finishes more sweet and just a bit earthy. Too sweet for my likings!

yngwie (9177) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2009
Bottle, thx to OleR. It pours a hazy, golden body with a nice, fingerthick off-white head. Lacings. Apricot, white sugar-sweetness and some earthy notes in the aroma. The flavor is sweet, white sugar-sweet, with apricot and other fruits. Some citrus and a herbal touch. Lacks on bitterness. Nicely carbonated. Long, sweet and fruity finish. Apricots in syrup comes to mind. Some bitterness rounds it off. Too sweet for my likings, and a bit strange too. (090313
