Clear orange light amber color, little too light for an amber beer, creamy head. Not much smell. Overall pretty standard.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours deep amber with golden highlights and a finger of downy white head. A perfumed, floral nose gives little hint to the very malty beer beneath. A subtle rosemary character is given out along with a little banana skin. In the mouth, however, the hops step forward to give the beer an immediate bitterness, heading strangely into ESB territory. Finishes with a lasting marmalade malt and hop bitterness. It’s a bit odd really.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amer color, with fluffy off-white head, leaves proper lacing. Nose is quite nothing a bit of roasted malt. Aroma is malty and flavour turns what watery, emphasized by the low carbonation, remaining hops bitterness. Not bad
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Belgian Beer Cafe in The Hague, Netherlands. A clear amber beer with a yellow-white head providing decent lacing. Nose of sugary roasted malts and and fruity hops. The taste is similar to the nose with a malt sweetness up front finishing with a gentle grassy hop bitterness. Nicely balanced. Finishes clean and neutral. Very drinkable and probably better than the bottled version.

<!-- i -->cask<!-- /i --> - clear and bright amber colour; nice beige creamy head; some maltiness and caramel up in front, but all being very shy; beautiful lace; notes of hazelnut and flowers developpe as the beer gets warmer; decent malt body, some sweetness soon balanced by a moderately dry bitterness; creamy mouthfeel; the finish is mainly caramel and relatively brief - lot of subtility
