Tap @ De Hemel. A beautiful clear orange with a medium creamy white head that has loads of lacing. Aroma is lots of fruits and herbs. Berries, youghurt, some cookies and a light spicyness. Good low carbonation. Flavour begins off ever so slightly metallic before turning surprisingly spicy and peppery bitter on top of a good caramel base.

Gut haltende Schaumkrone, farblich ist es dunkel-gelb und ganz leicht trüb. Geschmacklich ist es süßlich etwas citrus-fruchtig,ganz leicht säuerlich schön intensiv! Dazu kommt noch eine süße blumigkeit und ein leicht Karameliger Nebengeschmack. Fazit: Leckeres und interessantes Bier! Test vom 5.12.2010, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 13,11,12,12,-,13 - 12,36
