A little hazy amber colored beer, with a huge off white head. It disappears quickly. The aroma is malty a little caramel, fruits like banana. A little sour in the back. The taste is fruity with notes of sour. The aftertaste has a unpleasant vanilla.

A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Slightly cloudy, yellow gold body with a good white head. Fruity, faint tarty sugar notes, some burnth plastic. A little rough at the edges and uneventful.

At LCRBM 2009, Kulminator, Antwerp (Belgium)
Hazy blond, orange body. White, fizzy/creamy head. Aroma of hops, flowers, ... quite subtle but ok. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour (yeasty and flowery). Well balanced. Not very complex, but ok.

Bottle at LCRBM5. Cloudy pale gold, lasting white head. Looks like a wit, some lemon on aroma. A bit funky in the mouth. Bit dirty. Some citrus on end, quite agricultural. Not great.

Bottle 50cl. @ LCRBM09 - Low Countries RateBeer Meeting V, Kulminator, Antwerpen, Belgium.
Unclear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, rosehips, citrus - lemon, moderate yeasty, anis seed, star anis. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090905]

Bottle shared at LCRBM09. Sweet, flowery nose, fragrant and pleasant. An odd plastic note that can be ignored (at first). Taste is less pleasant: lightly sweet, rolling into a one-dimensional, sticky, disproportionate bitterness. Lightly bitter aftertaste with more of that floral perfume. Odd. Not quite all there.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2010 [9/5/09] Bottle sample during LCRBM at Kulminator in Antwerp. Cloudy yellow. Aroma of fresh fruits, some wheat, citrus and some spiciness. Sweetish flavor with some acidity and some slightly unpleasant spicy bitterness with fruits and candies. Light-bodied.

Bottle (LCRBM 09): Heavily perfumed lemony-orangey nose, some wheat in the background; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, very light bodied for a beer of 5.5%; short fruity-wheaty finish with a little touch of alcohol. Refreshing, but not too complex.......

LCRBM 2009. Looks good, modest turbid, nice white head. Grasy aroma. Tastes a bit moldy, modest fruity. Finish modest sourish, still grasy. A bit boring but not really bad!
