Bottle at Doerak. Pours hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma of fruits, toffee, spice. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Stubby bottle, 330 ml, at home. ABV 6.6% Very deep orange colour on the body, hazy, with some big chunks floating in the body. Big off-white head in my tulip glass, almost three fingers tall with good retention and especially after it collapsed and half finger was left. No lacing on the glass. Nice aroma, fruity and appealing, with light caramel notes. Taste is slighty bitter, a bit malty but quite hoppy too. Medium thickness on the body, soft carbonation. Overall a nice spring beer

A great beer, brewed by de Prael. Very sweet with a caramel taste. Great to drink in the spring to taste the long/bitter finish.

First of all opens as a fontaine, so much foam and more foam all over. Big light beige head, with a clear orange color body. Aroma of light malts and hops. Flavors of nice light flowery hops and malts, light honey. Not bad and enjoyble taste. Light and refreshing. Nice.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thick frothy white head. The aroma is of malt and banana. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with plenty of malt and not too much else. The bitterness hits the palate and stays around in the aftertaste. A drinkable beer, but no classic.

Bottle from Mam and Dad’s holiday, Holland. A cloudy amber beer with spicy fruit and toffee flavours, earthy notes and dry vanilla and caramel finish.

On tap @ the brewery. This is a cloudy plum-brown colored one with a medium sized light beige top. Light smoked and sweet on the aroma. Not so much directly sweet, but in a subtle malty way. It’s fruity. I get some traces of red fruits and caramelized dried fruits. Not extreme but alright. It’s soft and gentle oily on the mouthfeel with a average carbonation level. Sweet and smoky in the taste also. Really easy to drink. Ham and salmon in the finish here and a soft banana sweetness hint in the aftertaste. 27.09.2012

Gedronken op het KBC, 1 mei 2011, amber kleurig met een beige schuimkraag. Ruikt en smaakt zoet, bruine suiker, caramel, toen vond ik het bier een apart smaakje hebben

Very slight haze on this amber beer. Yeasty nose. Light dry palate. Dry creamy malt with a yeasty tang and a subtle orange note. Finishes very frothy and with a pinch of spice. Not bad.

Bottle: Medium white head which disappears quick, on top of a hazy orange colored beer. Smell hops, yeast, orange, glue, some cream and oatmeal. Taste hops, medium bitterness, plastic hops, some citrus, yeast, orange, some spices that disappears quick, some malted barleys and a hint of herbs and glue. Herby hoppy grass bitter aftertaste. Low carbo, soft light spicy mouthfeel, medium body and a light creamy texture.
