@ BBF 2011. The aroma has cery fresh wet grassy hops, light malts. Hazy, yellow coloured beer with a white head. The taste has a lingering bitterness and very fresh hops again. Dry, clean. Very nice.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is bready, caramelly, some slight herbal and yeasty notes along with some grainyness. Flavour is bready and caramelly malts with a gentle grassy hoppy bitter notes. Mild floral and grassy notes in the finish.

Bottled 330ml (bottled 151111)
Thanks bierkoning! Deep hazy orange color, good cloudy white head, lace. Fruity, orange, flowery aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweetish malty, fruity hoppyness. Short hoppy finish. Oily palate. In its fruityness more like an ale.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity grassy hoppy aroma with yeasty hints. Fruity malty yeasty grassy flavor. Has a fruity malty grassy finish.

Aroma of Belgian farmyard, heavy cloying, sweet, not my favourite. Flavour very surprising with crisp hops cutting through the heavy malt sweetness, to leave a pleasant bittersweet aftertaste. Gets better the more you drink/think about it. Very good beer indeed. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

33 cl bottle, Sheffield, UK via Beer Ritz Leeds. Bottle also mentions GADDS’. Dark caramel amber, soapy uneven head. Sweet fruit caramel aroma, cereal grain with some vanilla. Caramel-bread flavour, faint hops, some cardamom emerges at the very end.

Bottle at North Bar, Leeds. Pours a clear, orange gold, finger of head that is retained very well. Aroma is brilliant, very nearly a 9. Bread pils, hops, citrus, malt, apricot, banana bread, touch of yeast. Taste sadly cant quite match it - citrus, orange peel, breadiness. With the sediment, a lovely Parma Violet note, too. A little creamy. Nice balanced finish - bitter at the start, sweetness lingers. Good thirst quencher, too. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Good one.

Borefts Beer Festival 3. Hazy gold beer. Little white head. Pale malt tastes a bit raw, probably doesn’t help I had this after the stunning Upgreyde. Mild citrus. Semi dry finish. Ok but the Upgreyde was casting a big shadow!

Grasigerm sehr gerteidiger Hopfenantrunk. Zunehmend trockener, was aber im angenehmem Rahmen bleibt. Frisch, der Hopfen klebt aber etwas und wirkt schon früh überladen. /9/8/9//9

Boreft Beer Festival 2011. Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Lots of fresh and clean malt aroma with spicy and grassy hops. Sweetish biscuit malty flavour with grassy and spicy hops and a good bitterness. Doesn’t quite come together, left me a little confused, I guess

Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, straw, hay and grass. Flavour is malt, spice, clove, grass and hay.
