4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 VEMP (1) - - DEC 17, 2011Pale, a great white head, fresh hop aroma, flowers, a little bit "minty".
Medium body, full of hops, fruity, melon, citrus, little bit "minty", bitter and a long aftertaste. Balance and soft. A great beer, maybe the best beer in the Netherlands.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 worldbeertaste (1133) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - MAY 27, 2013
Hazy, yellow/orange with a thick, creamy, off-white, lacy, lasting head. Sweet strong smell of fruits with lemon citrus hops, hay, toasted malt and a grassy herbal element. Medium oily body with medium carbonation. Sweet fruity peach and slightly tart – grapefruit, with malt and herbal tones in the middle and a bitter grassy and still citrusy finish. Lingering hops. It grew on me very quick and was very easy to drink. I would defiantly enjoy one of these again.

Aroma is perfumed and astringent. The flavor is malts, very dry and a mix of vegetables and spices in the finish. I’m guessing both of the bottles I got from this brewery were old.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Xstream (123) - NETHERLANDS - APR 15, 2013
UPDATED: JUN 8, 2013 Delicous beer! Got it as a draft. Excellent body. Some grainy and fruity sweetness combined with a solid hoppy bitter. Leaves a great finish with a long lingering combination of sweetness and bitters.
It’s like a more full bodied and fresh tasting white beer, but better :)
Too bad the company went broke :(
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Shaney (1809) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - JAN 29, 2013
Goldgelb, ganz leicht trüb mit viel Schaum. Citrus und Grapefruit im Aroma. Liquider Antrunk, weiches Brauwasser. Startet malzig-fruchtig, geht dann schnell in eine angenehme Hopfenbittere über. Gute Süffigkeit.

Hazy golden yellow with white foam head. Aroma is hard to detect. Taste is bittersweet, hops prevael. Aftertaste is long lasting bitter beer. (Velp 201301)
3.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 Abrakarl (112) - SWEDEN - JAN 19, 2013
Barely no aroma on this one but I know it’s usually nice and hoppy. A bit sour and yeasty though. Slightly darker than the bier/blonde. Sweet in taste but no alcohol even if its 8,7%. Malty with some bitterness. Usually this one is a bit better than bier but this one has lost some hops. Very nice body. Sort of belgian in style, but I think its better. Brouwerij t’Ij has some beer that is similar and also excellent. Christoffel is a quality brewery without so much experimental stuff. Solid great beer but without freakiness. Jopen, emelisse and de molen are of a more freaky nature, Ij somewhere in between. They’re all good though. Will certainly enjoy again.
