A cleare amber colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma of caramel malt, with some fruits and coriander. The taste is mostly sweet with some bitter notes. The aftertaste is sweet with some bitter as well.

33cl glass on tap at the Brouw cafe. Very little head. Amber slightly hazy pour. Drinkable but nothing special

On tap at Het Brouwcafé. Hazy amber colour, white head. Aroma of diacetyl, some toasted malts and caramel. Flavour is all sourness and diacetyl, a massive infection, and this was sold as beer of the month! A waste.

Tap at Brouwcafe: Their version of a Palm-like beer, but this have some little salty taste in an kind of good way.

Brewery tap. Raspberry and caramel in the aroma. Toffee, feta cheese and raspberry in the flavor. Hint of upcoming sourness. Diacetyl. Disappointing.

Slightly hazy orange-amber beer with yellow-orange, fine & dense head. Lactic acid nose, slightly woody, faint spicey (nothing in particular). Rosehips? Quite inviting, but this kind of nose can be ominous. Strange combination of smoked and citruslike sourness. Spiciness remains, but no restsugars, though I get some caramelflavour hints. Sourness is not lactic in the taste. The flavours are nice, a bit lacking is the balance however. There’s no new aftertaste; the smokiness - with light bitterish spicey colouring - holding out longer than the acidity. Rather thinnish body. I cannot put my finger upon what is ailing me, but I get an impression of "Ouf, it turned out right, after all." Maybe it’s me. Thanks, Dean.
BTW, my label is suitably different, and does not mention "amber"?

Clear medium to dark orange color. A bit of a hoppy, oily and soapy flavor, sour honey and light spices are what I get from this beer. Has a bit of aa spoiled vegetable flavor. Decent bitterness.

On draft at Brouwcafe Scheveningen. Hazy orange/amber coloured, rapidly dying head. Like all Brouwcafe brews this one shows that typical sourness, but here some malty sweetness is able to partially compensate for this. Easy to drink beer. Nothing too special about it though.

Tap, brouwcafe. Hazy redbrown color, short frothy head. Aroma of amber and caramel malt. Bit sour taste of amber malt, slightly roasted, bit sweet. Bit too sour yeasty.

This beer has a amber body - hue apperance and a coarse white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had no carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is fruity.
