Pours a golden beer with a good white head. Smells really good. A bit grapefruit. Lots of tastes. To bad its bankrupt. Good palate, dry sticky finish.

Aroma is malts, heavily perfumed and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is dirty malts and rather odd all around.

330 ml swing top bottle, at home. Poured into a tulip glass. ABV 8.7%. The sticker mentioned on the commercial description is actually part of the front label on my bottle, also round and saying Special Edition. Nice light orange colour on the body. Quite hazy. A bit more of one finger of head, white in colour, average retention and light lacing left around the glass. Nice fruity aroma, along with yeast and dough. Quite bitter taste from the very start. Lots of herbs-like flavour,floral notes, along with a somewhat medicinal aftertaste, which tends to disaapear as the beer gets a bit warmer. The alcohol very well hidden on the taste. Medium thick on the body and average carbonation. Overall another good beer from Christoffel.

330 ml swingtop bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 8.7%. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Very nice and fresh hoppy aroma, typical Bramling Cross notes of blackcurrants / blackcurrant leaves. The flavour is herbal, spicy and hoppy, again with notes of blackcurrant leaves. The alcohol is clearly present.

(Draught at De Paas, Den Haag, 21 Feb 2013) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of bread, citrus, grass and fresh hops. Malty, hoppy taste with citrus, bready malt, black-currant and a generous grassy bitterness in a fairly dry finish. More than medium body, with just a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty. Nice one.

Poured a cloudy pale orange with a small, frothy white head. Aroma of citrus hops and sweet malt. Medium body, flavour of orange hop and caramel malt. slightly bitter sweet aftertaste.

Bottle, bought @ Voldby Købmandsgård. Pours almost clear golden with a large, creamy, white head. Good duration. Aroma has fresh grassy and piney hops. Light blackberry. Crisp malts. Medium carbonation, fine dry and oily mouthfeel. Flavour has good crisp malts, light doughy, mild vinious. Some lingering bitterness with that fine blackberry note from the hops.
