jaghana (2829) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - MAY 15, 2013
Bottle 75cl, a cloudy copper beer with huge head and good retention. Nose is on apricot, aroma is slightly on fruit but mainly bitter and astringent, lot of grass, pine and yeast. Not that exeptional.

humlelala (687) - DENMARK - MAY 11, 2013
(on tap @ Fairbar) Pours a cloudy golden with dense, medium, white head. Good retention and lace. Aroma is hoppy with herbal notes. Oily texture, medium body, soft carbonation with a bitter, lingering finish. Flavour is moderately bitter,with the malty backbone coming through ever so slightly in the middle. Okay.

3fourths (6948) - Straßgiech, Bavaria, GERMANY - MAY 5, 2013
bottle-conditioned 750ml. careful pour is lightly hazed light amber with a large off-white lasting head. rich hop aromatics of flowers, citrus / pineapple / mango, dried grass) with seemingly endless depth to the yeast (basement must, spices, dried herbs, minerals). enjoyable but muted crackers and bread crust pale malt expression. medium-light body with high effervescence and soft malt texture; strongly spicy and bitter, pithy and somewhat astringent at times, but with the malt soft as it is the hop brashness can be taken. chewy sweet pale malt sugars across the front and middle with a lingering oiliness late in a vibrant, spicy, mineral-heavy finish. lovely stuff. I wish a local producer could put something out like this.

Johnsense (454) - - MAY 5, 2013
Golden pour, fluffy white head. More yeast than hops in the aroma, somewhat funky. Taste - yeast, Grassy, lighter hopping, bready, lemon and pine. Very bitter aftertaste. Decent enough. I gotta wonder how this tasted fresh.

Ober (2763) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - MAY 1, 2013
@ Zythos 2013. A little hazy yellow/golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma has some fruits like citrus, with hop. The taste of sweet fruit with citrus with a nice hop bitter. The aftertaste is sweet with hop bitter.

BMan1113VR (7379) - Los Angeles, California, USA - APR 25, 2013
Bottle with a best before of 04/10/17. Pours with a hazed yellow hue and a moderate sized white head. Good retention and lace. Aromas are of floral hops, mild alcohol, estery, bready and biscuity base malt, herbal, Brazil nut, mild isoamyl acetate, fruity and a bit spicy (hop wise). Flavors are quite bitter, medium dry. Toasted and bready malt profile. Dry, lasting and lingering bitterness. Grassy, medium floral. Biscuity, low ester, brambles, spicy. Very lively carbonation. Medium dry. A touch of light struck character. Pretty decent overall hoppy belgian import. Overall a bitter balance and quite strong lingering bitterness.
