Appearance: Clear, golden/light copper tones. Lots of bubbles. Frothy white long lasting head. Aroma: Citrus, bread, slight clove. A little bit of DMS. Taste: Medium bitter with medium dry finish. Medium-light sweetness. Light hop flavors. Bitterness lingers for a bit. Palate: Medium bodied with fine but active carbonation. Overall: I enjoy this beer! There should be more of them in my fridge! 550ml bottle, poured.

I had this beer at the Clarens craft beer festival, and I was looking forward to having it since we do not realy get Darling beers up in the northen side of South Africa. It pours a very pale beer, unexpectedly pale I must say. It had extreamely faint aromas and not much worth noting. It tasted bland, and not unlike a bud. It is an easy drink, but not if you are looking for an interessting beer.

Bottle. Pale yellow color with small white head, bland watery taste, average carbonation, abrupt finish. Not very interesting I am afraid.

Had this from a craft beer stand on the waterfront VA in Capetown. Pours cloudy golden with a thin layer if creamy head. Little hoppy, a little bitter. Tasty refreshing beer

Dull amber. The aroma is mostly sour (had it more than once). Taste is tart, fruity and you can tell the base beer in particularly interesting - not much hop or malt nuance.

Bottle from Cape Town store. Orange gold. Aroma of butyric acid and banana creme. Awfully plastic mouthfeel. Has a juicy beginning. followed by a grainy middle and then acrid aftertaste. Very disappointing!

Bottled@omhper. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is bready malts, some vegetables, mild floral and grassy notes. Flavour is wood, some earth, mild maltyness as well as some grains. Quite watery and a bit bulkish feeling to it.

Bottled, thanks jolo! Pale yellow, minimal head. Dry and light bodied. Crisp and fresh with slight spicy hops and medium bitterness. Refreshing, but almost shy.

55 cl bottle at the sampling night at omhper on September 30, 2011
Slight bit hazy yellow color, white head. Sweet, vegetable scent. sweet, butter, vegetable taste. Dry finish. Moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

Sample at omhper’s testing. . Pours yellow with no real head. Smells honey and abit cheese. Tastes bubbly and honey malt with a similar finish.
