Bottle @ YNWA. Pours a muddy pale orange with a small film head. Aroma is quite mild, some spices and maltiness. Quite dry mouthfeel, weakly hoppy flavour, some malty sweetness and oranges. There is a little unwanted yeasty aftertaste hidden in the dryness.

Bottle at ØLbutikken - Thanks. Clear yellow - white head. Fruity. Honey. Grapes. Light malty. Light hoppy. Light zesty bitter finish. Freshness.

Bottle: Small to medium lively (vast on top) airy and lively head that disappears pretty quick and leaves a small lacing on top of a light hazy to more normal hazy orange colored beer. Smell wood, caramel, fruit, orange, apple, mango, some herbs, hops and hints of soap and sweets. Taste older yeast and fruit segments, with an overpowering but not too strong bitterness. Some nasty bitter hop tones and manure/perfume touches in the mouth. Strange mix, maybe a bit old...? Hops, bitter, some light malts, yeast, fruit, apple, tangerine, light glue, hints of soap, perfume, manure. Strange mix but not really unbalanced. Bitter herby malty manur-ish aftertaste. The bitterness in the aftertaste seems to be more pleasant than in the taste itself. Low to medium carbo, soft light tingly mouthfeel, medium body and a creamy texture. When this beer warms up/chambered a bit, it tastes a little bit better, still nothing exceptional.

Herb-hefiger, leicht trockener Antrunk. Süßlich, hellmalzig, etwas alkoholisch. Monoton, schnell wird das Bier wässrig und langweilig, wenig attraktiv, trocken-herb zum Ende. Wenig zitrus-bitter. 8/6/6/5/8/5

Bottled from Stein towncenter beershop (where else ? :-) small bottle as usually, color is hazy orange with apocalyptic huge white head. look great. Slightly fruity aroma, with some citric tones. Flavour is the same. Finishes bready dry and soft malts. Nice one!

draught in Wageningen, NL. This is the home brew of a pub there. Opaque blond beere with a weak head. It has a light fruity aroma with a wholesome grainy background. Hints of pear. Watery sour-bitter taste with very little sweet. Wholesome bready palate with metallic fruity development: pears, apples.. and especially cane sugar.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head. Acidic to mild orange fruity aroma. Fruity and acidic base flavour. Towards quite citric and almost brettish. Dry and malty with a mild spice note into the finish. Sharp. Slight woody.

Bottled. A murky dark golden beer with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is sweet and at the same time acidic with notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is like an acidic Dutch beer as others I’ve had, with notes of fruit and yeast. Far from perfect.

Pours a muddy pale orange with a small film head. Aroma of citrus, some wheat and grain. Flavor is fresh sweet with a bitter finish. Fruity, citrus and some notes of grapes in the aftertaste also.

Bottle. Medium high and lasting white head. Hazy golden body. Barley malt aroma. Mild smooth and sweet barley malt flavor with fruity notes. Low carbonation. Long sweet aftertaste.
