Golden ale with an unpleasant glue and solvent aroma. Good sweet candy sugar in mouth, with some coriander. Nice alcohol warmth. Rather weak overall. May 1,2005 at 2nd KBC Festival, Den Bosch, NL.

Draught Dark orange, hazy; huge, pinkish-yellow head, leaving lace. Some malt, bay leaves, patchouli, solvent... weird as it is, not a bad nose. Very sweet taste, honeyish, alcohol-sweet, even higher alcohols, also cookies and spices. Sticky, oily MF. Dry finish & aftertaste. Nose at odds with the taste, but certainly not worse.

Nice looking hazy orange beer with a white head. Chemical aroma with glue and alcohol coming through clearly. Sweetish taste, alcoholburn comes in pretty harsh.
