Slightly hazy orange-yellow beer; thick and dense, whipped-cream like head. Sunflower seed in the nose, a bit honey-ish, ending grassy. Mix of coloured & pale malts. A bit of unripe fruit sourishness floating around it all. Rather light MF, burning finish. Light beer, in itself not bad, but very unspectacular. I think that "Gouwe Boezem" is a rather dubious name for a beer...

Bottled - thanks to Otje for this one - A very hazy peachy orange coloured beer with agone in a jiffy off white head. The aroma is very yeasty and peppery spicy. The taste is also predominantly yeasty and spicy, although the citricity from the hops comes through fairly nicely. A bit rough around the edges but deent enough.

Golden pale beer with a small head. Smells fruity and yeasty with some caramel. Tastes bitterish, sweetish, fruity and somewhat herbal. Not bad.

(bottle) Hazy and pale golden colour with a thick lacy foamy white head. Dusty herbal hops aroma with a grassy touch, slightly sweet malty and citrusy. Fruity and malty taste, light to medium body, lively carbonated mouthfeel. Dry and bitter herbal hoppy finish. Rather unspectacular but well-rounded and quaffable. Thanks bierkoning for the sample !

Blonde and cloudy. Enormous lasting foamy head. Lime and vinegar aroma with a bunch of flowers. Hoppy, flowery flavor: oily, lemon. Hint of detergent. Tastes a bit like one of those hoppy British IPA’s

Light bitterness, somewhat sweet but nicely balanced. Compared to a lot of other Dutch beers at the PINT festival (24th of July) not bad at all.

Bottled. Soapy and dusty lemon aroma. Cloudy yellow, white head, good lace. Sweet, pretty sour, very metallic bitterness, malty, hint of citrus. Dusty, soapy and a bit sticky, medium body.
