Impresionante cerveza, fue sin duda mi descubrimiento de la weekend de la biere 2012. Una cerveza qué te pone los pelos de punta al probarla. Difícil de conseguir por lo del 125 aniversario, pero si la veo repito.

Bottle. Deep gold with a white head. Aroma of oranges and grapefruit. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, obvious but not raw alcohol. Sweet with oranges, mandarins, light dough, apricot. Zesty grapefruit, winter oranges and a little pepper. Firm bitterness, but just enough to provide a contrast rather than a finish. Builds a little over a glass though. Punchy but elegant.

Bottle: Medium sized vast white head, disappears slow, on top of an almost clear/light cloudy yellow orange colored beer. Smell hops, flowers, apricot, dough, spices, yeast and a hint of alcohol. Taste is fruity, bitter, hops, citrus, yeast, apricot, spicy, flowers, some sweeter grains and some malty herbs. Pretty balanced and good tasting. Aftertaste is warm with some spices and bitter, some herbs, fruits and hops. Low to medium carbo, medium to fuller body, soft light spicy mouthfeel and a light creamy mouthfeel. Balanced, lovely smelling, tasty, easy drinkable and no real trace of 9% alcohol. Very well done.

Bottle shared by Cuso, thanks! Hazy golden colour. Aroma belgian yeast, fruity, very light hops. Taste is medium fruity sweet, light grassy-earthy hops, warm alcohol notes. Higher carbonation. Pleasant warm finish, fruity. Extremely drinkable.
