Bottle @ The brewery. Clear yellow to golden, medium sized dense creamy white head. Smell malts, fruits, lightly hops. Taste malts, fruits, hops, medium bitter. Medium carbo, medium body.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2004 From tap in the brewery-museum. Clear orange coloured, beautiful thick head. Hoppy aroma, some fruit. Sweet soft flavour. very easy to drink ale. The bottled version is obviously inferior, i'd rate it around 3.0.

Drank from tap at the brewery. Clear orange color, thick creamy white head. Aroma of hops, some sour yeasty notes, hint of apple. Soft sweet taste, bitter and slightly sour. Thirst-quenching palate. Nice ale.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2005 Re-rate: Now brewed by De Roos themselves. Fruity aroma. Amber color, beige head, large bubbles, good lace. Light sweet, light bitter, fruity, yeasty, light sourness, long lasting fruitiness in the finish. I think their new brewmaster does a better job on this one. 09-27-02, 3.0: The bottled version of this beer is actually brewed by Maasland. Only the casks are brewed by De Roos and taste very different. The bottle version has a vegetable and yeasty aroma. Brown colour, white frothy head, good lace. Ligth sweet, medium full body, light bitter, little fruity. Short and tasteless finish.

Bottle: Medium to bigger airy sparkling dusty white head on top of a hazy yellow colored beer. Smell is a good mix of hops, citrus, yeast, peach, hint of apple, hint of orange, dough, hint of malts, herbs and something light bitter. Taste is good, for such a beer with such a low alcohol content, though a bit watery/weak. Taste hops, yeast, fruit, peach, orange, tangerine, low to medium bitter, malts, herbs, hint of glue. Light bitter yeasty fruity aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, watery tingly mouthfeel, medium watery body and a watery texture.

Hazy orange colour with a brown teint. Not a lot of head. Smells fresh, orange peel and hoppy. Tastes slightly sour, fruity. Quite big on carbo, very dry.

Bottle @ Fastelavnssmagning, Ulfborg. Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is orange, pepper , yeast and a little brett. Flavor is dry with notes of yeast, caramel, fruit and hops. Medium bodied. Dry end. Enjoyable

Bottle, gusher! Orange blonde color. Floral, yeasty aroma with some citrus notes. Yeasty flavor with hints of citrus and mint. Pleasant enough.

Bottled 33cl
Hazy orange color, small white head. Pale malty, fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. A bit harsh, but fruity-citrusy flavor. Hops are also there. Slightly papery and yeasty. Decent but not very exciting.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It’s a hazy, golden-orange beer without head. Peachy, herbal nose with fruits and some grainy malt. Peaches, syrupy sweetness, pale malts and some hoppy bitterness in the mouth. Medium body, smooth and quite dry. Short grainy finish. A boring beer, but sure drinkable. 091024
