Bottle. Cloudy yellow coloured with a small white ehad. Skunky and spicy aroma of yeast, fruits and citrus. Fruity flavour of spices, yeast and citrus with notes of hops. Yeasty and hoppy finish.

Bottled. Hazy yellow coloured with loads of disgusting sediment. Nice eggy bread aroma. The flavour is mostly eggy and malt sweet like a decent Bock, but unfortunately it also has some unclean yeasty and citric notes. Not bad for a Dutch microbrew.

Bottle at PRZH Winterbierfestival, Gouda: The hazy yellow version of their winter-ales, with use wheat and coriander. Perhaps this is a heavy winter whitebeer.

Dark yellow colored, cloudy appearance with little white head. Nice spicy aroma with this recognisable Netherland-hops and some flowers, hints of lemon and yeast also there. Medium bodied. Flavor is even richer with floral spiciness, yeast also there. Definitely you can say that this comes from Netherlands. crispy carbonation.

Bottled. Yellow colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is spices, slight honey and malts. Flavour is honey, sweet malts and flowery hops. Also very creamy touch along with yeast. A very interesting thing.

Bottled. Lightly hazy golden, small head. Aroma of red cherries. Fairly sweet with medium body and bold mouthfeel. Lightly estery and yeasty with notes of vanilla, strawberries and alcohol. Sweet berryish finish without bitterness.

Cloudy golden colored body, with a dense & longlasting head, almost like a hefeweizen. Crisp, tart aroma - somewhat floral, and quite hoppy. Wheaty, dry taste. Quite tart, and sour, with honey, coriander, lemongrass and Noble-hops. Reasonable balance. Thin/medium mouthfeel, ample carbonation. Quite simple but definitely good.

Bottled (BB 11/2007)
A bit hazy yellow color, small white head. Some sour notes, strawberry, grass (hay) in the aroma. Crisp carbonation. Tripel-like hoppyness, some candy sugar, grassy hops, subdued alcohol. Very "Belgium"-feeling here, not so "Dutch".

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a small, lightly lacy head. Honey-yeasty, flowery-lavendery aroma with light spiciness. Some yeast also in the flavor, with lots of fruitiness and some flowery hops in the dryish finish. Medium-bodied, smooth palate. A nice and fresh brew, much cleaner and better than most I’ve had from this brewery before.

Bottle. Hazy golden with vague head. Lemon aroma along with vanilla, fruit and yeast. Flavour is citrus, grape and a light sweetness and light bitterness. Soft on the tongue.
