Bottle. Aroma smells like alcohol, but not in the mouth. A really strange product. A good strange.

330 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Pours a hazy yellow colour with a small, white and thick head. Aroma of orange, pepper and some solvent-like alcohol. Flavour of ripe orange, mild spices, alcohol and honey. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel and a finish of strong alcohol. When this warms up the alcohol comes through even more.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Hazy amber colour with small white head. Aroma is apricot, orange peel and sweet caramel. Some listerine at the end. Flavour is apricot, sweet caramel and wheat. Pleasant.

Clear goldblond coloured beer with medium white head and very few carbonation. Spicy hopped aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is dry hopped and bitter. Nice one.

Biggish offwhite head. Hazy deep yellow body with carbonation. Deep mealy oranges and tropical fruit aroma with herbal musty notes. Very mild and harmonic. Dry-sweet sharp old books and oranges taste with resiny soft metal and herbs notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry-bitter herbal oranges and old books aftertaste with soft metal and grass notes. A touch of dandelion, too. Very hoppy for a Belgian, but nice and balanced even so. (0.33l bottle, Beer Planet, Brussels.)

33 cL bottle poured into a goblet glass. Orange beer in a flip-top bottle with a massive head, but looks good. Smells of malt and wheat, nice but basic. Tastes similarly straightforward, and similar to the better German hefe-weiss beers.

Don’t like the color very much, again a hazy orange. Boerken was almost the same but I favor it slightly. Not a bad beer though.

Strong on alcohol, not a lot of body though. It’s a well drinkable beer. Liked the boerken better though.
