27/07/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 30/3/2012 (2011-345) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!
Cloudy dark yellow to beige beer under creamy solid white head, stable and bit adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, lychees, candi sugar, canned fruits with syrup, exotic spices (star anise and ginger). MF: good carbon, full body. Taste: not as sweet as the aroma would have you expecting, very malty, some hops and spices, and just a touch of root-beer. Aftertaste: sweet malts and some canned fruits, but also a certain acidity to balance, spices again. No doubt it’s the ginger causing this taste complexity, although I don’t recognise it like fresh ginger roots.

For a spice/herb/vegatible style beer it’s not bad. Otherwise it is. Carbonation and body are very good, color is average, smell ok and taste is just not what I like. Interesting to try this one, but I won’t have it again.

Bottle at home. Hazy golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of Belgian hops, some light fruits and spicy malts. Flavor is sweet fruity and some spicy malts with a peppery finish. Quite bitter at the end. The ginger is hardly noticable, but it’s a nice brew nonetheless.
