martinboer (1297), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jul 21, 2008 Bottle at Arendsnest. Amber colour with tall head. Yeasty, with sweet citrus taste. Malty and orange peel flavours. Dry finish. SHIG (1384), Oberoffligen, Germany Apr 4, 2008 Bottle: Poured a burnt coppery redorange brown with a thick lasting cream head. The aroma was orange peel and fruit, with some dry malt. The taste was bitter orange peel and subsided for a dry finish. sayravai (3029), Helsinki, Finland Dec 18, 2007 (Draught@Arendsnest, Amsterdam) Clear, dark reddish amber with a largeish, lasting and lacy head. Mild aroma of berry jam and grainy, mildly tart malt. Neutral-malty, mildly roasty flavor. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. A bit grainy and homebrew-like, but pleasantly neutral. Doesn’t offer much flavorwise, though. JoeinUccle (624), Brussels, Belgium Nov 12, 2007 33 cL bottle at Pothuiske in Maastricht. Dark amber color with a lasting beige head. Grainy, bready, dry-hoppy nose, some biscuity malts, with some apple-cidery aspects. Flavor brings only light sweetness and a nice, sustained level of bitterness that lasts beyond the dry finish. Here you can taste real overlap between the porous styles we call "pale ale" and "saison." MiP (4843), Flensburg, Germany Oct 21, 2007 Draught, 6.5% at ’t Arendsnest. Fruity aroma, nice and citric. Quite dark red/brown colour, and rather cloudy. Nice tan head, very big and very stable. Good flavour, mildly teaish with some orange juice notes. Medium bitterness. Good balance.
