(Bottled, BBE 01/2006) Opaque orange color with a huge, foamy head. Dryish, slightly cardboardy aroma with some peppery spiciness, cleaning products and acidity. Pretty plain, dryish and acidic flavor with some cardboard. Medium-bodied, dryish and foamy-carbonated palate. A decent, but foamy and papery blonde.

Colore dorato, schiuma evanescente. Al naso dolce, con sentori di malto miele, lievito e frutti bianchi. Al palato le noti dolci non riescono a fondersi con l’amaro. Fastidiosa sensazione metallica.

33cl Dumpy brown bottle, best before 2013, poured into a ’Palm Special’ badged tulip in March 2012. Slight haze to the light amber body, carbonisation trails rising to the weak white collar and wispy covering overhead. The nose is sweet and yeasty, honey and maple syrup came to mind. Pine hop easters prevent the smell being sickly along with the yeast presence. I’d swear there is honey in this brew: I did a Belgian honey beer tasting evening last year and this could easily have been in the group, even if it hasn’t got any in it. The taste is strange really, those honey flavours are mixed with a hop dry bitterness and an unpleasant metallic feel that appears towards the end of each sip. Can’t put my finger on it, but something doesn’t sit right: glad I only paid 2.00 Euro for it.
