Dutch ratebeer meeting. Hazy orange coloured, large white head. Strong peppery aroma, i really disliked it. Flavour is a bit more fruity. Not my kind of beer, couldn't finish it.

Golden body, white head. Clear, too. Metallic, white bread and orange peel. Not great. Dusty taste, some sour but not very refined. More of a mistake?

1000 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Pours a clear golden colour with a small, white, foamy head. Aroma of ripe fruits such as apricot, hay and cardboard. Flavour of pale malts, loads of apricot, hay and some hops. Alcohol as well. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a finish of apricot and alcohol. Good.

Aroma has sweetish and stalish apricot, spices and hints of raisins. Flavour has apricot and some solvent-like alcohol. Not good.

Clear orange amber colour, rather small but fluffy white head. Malty aroma, spices and some fruits. Sweetish flavour, rather thin body, quite fruity, elderberry, malts and some spices. OK and refreshing but a bit lightweight. (draught @ café In De Blaauwe Hand, Nijmegen)

1L bottle bravely hauled to Denmark for me, by Fiona. Thanks a lot!. clear golden, small smooth white head. pretty boring aroma, mild, spices and malts and some bitterhops. flavor is spicy, malty, bitterhoppy, faint sweetness. reminds me a little bit of european strong, but with a little more finesse. not a gourmet beer though.

Bottle 100 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a deep golden with a rough white head - tiny impurities. A little fruit in the nose. Medium body, fruit and a little ashes and yeast - nothing all that impressive really. Ends fairly dry. Not offensive in any way - just fails to impress. 090710
