(Bottled) Very hazy amber with a smallish, firm head. Dryish, but caramely and very fruity aroma with flowery hops. Fruity-caramely-grainy flavor with hints of cardboard and lavender floweriness. Medium body with soft carbonation. Overall a quite pleasant - a bit girly, yet dry and interesting enough brew.

Tasted at Zythos Bier Festival 29th April 2012 Yeasty, malts, sweet, brown coloured

33 Cl bottle taken in the back room of ‘tBrugs Beertje (through and past the toilets): Tom was looking after everybody back there this evening in Dec 2011. The body was a hazy mid-orange or old gold colour, on top a thin white head. Citrusy hop nose; with malt loaf and yeasts to add good measure. The taste was hops first and last, in between I found yeast, bread, sweetness and grapefruit flavours. The beer seemed slightly over carbonated and somewhat ‘fizzy’, it certainly flew out the bottle, but couldn’t call it a gush. Mr average in most aspects.

Che bella bionda! Aroma meraviglioso, luppolato, con sentori agrumati e speziati (un pò di pepe). Si presenta con una bella schiuma nevosa. Al gusto risulta essere luppolata e in giusta misura amaricante con qualcosa di agrumato tipo Curaçao. Scende giù fin troppo bene. Gran bella bionda a mio parere.

Bottled. Cloudy amber, rich firm head. Mild fruity nose. Sweet with soft mouthfeel and medium body. Mildly caramelly with slight warmth in a finish with some minerally bitterness.

Bottle. Hazy amber color, medium white head. Aroma of brown bread and summer fruit. Taste starts sweet, then yeasty, mild bitter finish. Nice.

330ml bottle. Veiled honey-gold with a fine, stable head leaving dabs of lace. Attractive, G+T-like aroma with a botanical freshness, pine resin and crystallised lemon notes. Bright, fresh beer biting crisply with herbal and lemon zest notes, spiky carbonation, a lasting pepperiness suggesting incense and spices; a jasmine-like aftertaste. Crisp, spicy hopping reminiscent of La Rulles. Didn’t touch the sides.

Bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy yellow / orange color, small off-white head. Smell malts, slight bitterness, some fruit-peel. Taste malts, some fruitpeel-bitterness. Average carbonation, low to medium body.

Pale yellow colour, small whiye head. Smells like a classic beer. Not bad, not great. Tastes malty, grainy, heavy. Good beer but not special.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2012 23/I/2012 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 1/VIII/13? (ink was smudged) (2012-74)

Note: bottle shared with Brian -Stillwater- Strumke.

Cloudy orange beer, sediment, creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive. Aroma: bit fruity, peaches, some citrus, spices. MF: too much carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity, bit sweet malty, metallic, green banana, bitter, citrus. Aftertaste: more citrus, metallic, bitte dry ending. Not the best beer they put out.

Bottle: Small but vast white head on top of a deep hazy dark orange colored beer. Smell fruits, yeast, hops and some herbs. Taste is nice fruity and bitter mix with hints of hop, herbs, spices, green grass, green apples and a slight hint of grains and leaves. Yeasty fruity bitter herby aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, good medium body, soft light watery mouthfeel turns into a creamy texture. Well balanced and pretty tasty.
