Bottle, shared w. Tim. Clear gold, white head. Nose is floral & grassy hops, a really nice hay-like malt, sweet lemongrass. Flavor is beautiful floral & grassy hops, hay, grass, long light malt finish. Incredibly well done.

Bottle @ Beer Revolution. Murky gold pour with a thin layer of white froth. oranges, old orange peels and tang on the nose. easy on the palate with flavors of oranges and a tiny bit of ginger and floral notes. easy finish that is very reminiscent of the aroma.

Bright golden orange pour with a nice big pillowy head. Aroma has hops, orange, tangerine, maybe lime, basic malt foundation, some spicy yeasty notes. Taste is light bodied, some hops, orange and tangerines, small malt body, medium bitterness. Really solid brew at 4,5%! Nice one Menno, good to see that you rock in much more than crazy impys.

Bottle. Hazy light amber pour, small white head. Aroma is fairly hoppy, with a sweet malty base,resemblant of sugar and some orange. Lots of yeasty characteristics as well, giving it a slightly flowery air. Taste is very fresh with orange as well. Fairly bitter with some yeasty sweetness as well. It is impressive, how the taste remains full and rich, despite the low alcohol, and the fact that this bottle is a year overdue...

330ml Bottle: GUSHED! Aroma of yeast, hops, slight lemon, hay, light malt, and slight pollen. Poured golden amber in color with a huge, frothy, rocky, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Full of tiny and small particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, grass, yeast, slight malt, slight pollen, and water. Light to medium body. Thin, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Hop and yeast finish is dry.

Great beer with a perfect union of malts and hops. My favourite one since now.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit/lemon), lightly yeasty (cobwebs). Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Pretty dull, watery, and thin, but I admire the effort. We need more beers like Taras Boulba and Dupont Avril.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Nose is very light wheaty with a slight hop aroma. Taste is slightly stale wheat with a light hop profile. An odd mix. Body is thin and the flavors disappear rapidly. Drinkable but not memorable.
