Draft at Klooster, Delft. Clear amber/brown pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma of slightly grassy hops, fruit and malt. Flavour is light fruity with caramel, malt and bread. Low bitterness, low to medium carbonation and light to medium body.

Hmmm, awesome beer this. Beautiful big head on a dark brown/read beer. Some banana, pineapple and some wood flavors. Nicely balanced, just a good beer. From the little Mitra in Mijdrecht.

Flavours I got from this beer were apples, brambles and spices, colour was quite dark

Hazy red brown colour. Aroma has some wood, malt and hop. Flavour is quite malty with some red fruit sweetness and then hop dryness in the finish.

On tap @ In De Wildeman (as Wijszer). Muddy brown color. Steady off white head. Aroma’s: caramel, banana, some (alpha) acidity retronasal. Flavor is lightly sweet with a starting bitterness. Medium body. Finishes lightly bitter. OK.

Bottle: Label says Christoffel Wijszer: Big vast thick creamy head, disappears slow, on top of a dark ruby colored beer. You can smell the herby hop flavours with some nice citrus, rose hip and nettle. There are also hints of ingredients which seem to come close to grains like wheat, malts, barleys, but mostly the lovely but soft smooth hop aromas is what hits the nose. Taste is very balanced crispy mix of hops, barleys, hint of fruit like citrus, light melon, light peach, rose hip, a touch of something yeasty and a slight hint of something mint. Really nice flavours. Aftertaste is a mix of nice hoppy citrus, with a medium bitterness, light barley malts and light stingy but not sharp nettle. Low carbo, soft velvet ish mouthfeel, a good medium body (leaning towards fuller) and a creamy texture. It’s not a deep beer, not complex, but very well balanced and smooth. I like it.

On tap @ BBF ’11. The aroma is very fresh, has some caramel malt, fruity hops, some veggie tones. Hazy, brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is caramel malty, fruity, has some grass. Nice, quite fresh.

33cl bottle. Decent white head, Hazy ruby pour, Nice bitterness.
