UPDATED: JUL 31, 2011 re-rated, 7/2011; 5% - pours a cloudy dark orange beer with no head retention; aroma of yeast, sour apples and corn; medium-bodied and with a quite harsh palate; quite rough and dry finish with salty and corny notes; the fruity tones stay in the background - unusual and pretty hard to drink

12/2003; 5.7% - brewed using triticale (a crossing between wheat and rye) - cloudy bright orange colour, big initial creamy head which quickly reduces, aroma of ginger, sweet and oily, very carbonated, light sourness, medium-bodied, the finish is moderate, showing fruity and metallic notes - not bad and hard to rate like all beers from this brewery (3/6/6/3/12)

Bottle. Cloudy golden colour with a huge head. Aroma of citrus, yeast and hints of wheat. Very yeasty flavour with notes of wheat.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a big white head. Sweet grassy, fruity, spicy aroma and a sweet fruity, light perfumed taste. Medium body with a sweet finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very unclear golden with a small, bubbly dissipating, off-white head. Sourish nose. Rather heavy carbonation. Light body, very dry - almost like a dry white wine. Vaguely tart finish. Flawed and unbalanced. 060706

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits and spices. Flavour of fruits and spices.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2005 Bottled. Hazy pale yellow, lively head. Sweet muscot aroma. The mouthfeel is rounded and cottony soft. Flavours are odd and a bit bold, and include things as candle wax, muscot and ginger. The spices however doesn’t dominate, resulting in a likable, if controversial, beer.

5.2% ABV
Muddy blond color. Light aroma, spicy. Dry taste, some malt, too much yeasty and astringent.
