Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Bottled 0.7 liter, BB 2001 (bottled in 1999?). Hazy orange coloured, small head. Fruity notes, apple and orange. Very refreshing, easy to drink beer, although complexity was probably not increased by ageing (or is this bottle way past its peak?). Quite simple, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Fredagsbaren på biologi, Aarhus Bottled Delicate aroma and flavor of yeasty fruits and floral hops Orange - in flavor too

Aroma has some vinous character. Hazy, orange coloured with no head. Taste is hoppy, fruity (citric), malty with some tartness. Vinous/sherry. Doesn’t taste really complex.

750ml bottle share courtesy of hatchy. Bottle labeled best before the end of 2005. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a small sized white head. Lots of small floaters. Aromas of yeast, bananas (and all around fruitiness), and citrus. Tastes of citrus, spices, lighter fruitiness, and some yeast.

Thanks to hatchy best before 2005. Pours a cloudy golden orange with small floaties and an average bubbly white lacing head. Aroma was earthy, spicy, musty, citrus, various spices, Flavor of citrus, musty, yeasty, bready, hints of honey, dry various spices.

07.24.06 Bottle dated 2005, must be a best by date, thanks for sharing EDA! Darkish golden beer. Aromas are flowery and herbal with a bit of funk and something lactos-ish sweet. Lovely background bitterness throughout the quaff with peppery and herbal hops, fruity yeasts, and some sturdy biscuit/cookie maltiness. Pretty solid and saison-like brew that I didn’t even realize ever existed and now wish they’d brew again.

Bottle. Thanks EDA. Cloudy yellow in color with a little white head. Fruity, yeasty hoppy aroma. Citrusy spicey notes. Spicey fruity flavor. Orange and coriander notes. Hoppy. Nice and tart. Finish is bitter. Medium bodied. Well balanced. Very nice. Very drinkable.

Great score. Eyedrinkale broke this out late in the NYRBG, thanks Mike. Poured murky yellow. Aroma and taste are is like a lactose-y hop. Mouthfeel is effervescent. I know the rating is short but I really enjoyed this stuff.

6th Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Beste before ’01 :) A bit fruity, well balanced flavour. A bit malty, not too exciting.
