Amber-orange with just off-white fluffy head. Very spicy nose, with pepper, nutmeg & hops; slight hint of caramel. Bitter, as in vegetable- & slightly hoppy flavour. Finish is malty-caramel again, just-not-sweet, and peperkoek soft gingerbread. Medium bodied, very lively beer with both titillating and sparkling feel, without getting fizzy. Aftertaste is quite sweet, with even more explicit peperkoek. Another surprisingly good offering from Bouillon. And arguably the best Mary Jane beer sampled so far.

Cloudy orange body with a white head. Grassy and yeasty aroma with lemon, caramel, orange. Harsh, fully carbonated palate. Bitter flavour with fruits (peach, apple and pear), dry finish.

33 cl bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is oranges, citrusy and crisp hoppy. Light grassy, brett and oranges. Light orval like, a bit of brett. Bitter, fruity and subdues sweetness. Mellow fruity and bitter fiish. Crisp hoppy.

Bouteille 33cl. Couleur paille présentant un léger trouble, col blanc. Nez est houblonné, graine, levure avec ce côté herbe du chanvre et d’agrume. En bouche, palais est légèrement épicé, herbacé avec cette présence de levure belge. L’aspect en bouche est épais avec une fine amertume surtout présente sur la fin. Un peu de malt pale vient rajouter un petit plus, mais où la levure tend à dominer l’expérience.

bottle from the brewery, white overflowing yeasty looks. Herbal smell, fruity taste; But not that spectacular. Nice hops in the aftertaste! The best from that brewery that far.

Bottle at Brussels farmer’s market. Hazy yellow body with white top head. Citrus and banana nose. Taste is quite hoppy, with tangy and citrus notes. Not sure I can taste the temp. Dry, grainy finish. Pretty good.

9th September 2008. Made with Orval yeast, hemp grains and herbs. Cloudy yellow beer. Low carbonation. No trace of sweet anything but also not bitter. Odd taste - tangy herbs. Very dry finish. Unusual but just plain hard work!

Unclear golden with a huge white rough head. Aroma had yeasty and fruity notes. Flavour was sweet with malt, yeast and fruity notes. Finished sweet.
