Huge dense yellow head - very stable - over hazy orange beer. End of bottle amazing UFO collection. Markedly spicy nose, orange zeste, white candi sugar, some alcohol and yeastesters. Smells like an orange-based dessertsauce. BItter-spicy flavours; cray, rootspices, orange gingerbread and essentialy not-sweet. Pretty carbonated feel, medium bodied, creamy head. Rather original beer, reminds me of some Jamagne brews, in a less sweet package. Very nice for a first try.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Sweet and doughy. Medium bodied, rounded mouthfeel. Honey and grains and plenty of hay-like hops. Mid bitter finish.

Schiuma non molto abbondante, compatta, di media persistenza. Aroma fruttato e floreale, note di agrumi, albicocca, miele e lievito. In bocca rinfrescante e molto equilibrata

Gedronken bij André (dutchdrebus) samen met René (benzai), kleur is geel/oranje en niet helder. Ruikt en smaakt bitter, sinaasappelschil.

33cl bottle shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Hazy orange-golden color, small white to off-white hwad. Smell malts and fruity hops, certainly surprising. Taste malts, lightly hops, sweet. Low to medium carbo and body.

Bottle thx to benzai. Slightly hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Smells hoppy, some grapefruit, apricots. Tastes hoppy, fresh, slightly bitter, apricots. Medium body, good carbo. A positive surprise!

(Bottled@Home) Slightly hazy amber with a smallish, firm head. Lavender-lemony-flowery-spicy nose with sweetish, pale malt and herby hops. Flavor is lemony-fruity, sourish-wheaty, flowery-spicy, pale-malty, lightly sweet and caramely, mildly bitter and drying finish. Medium to full body, slicky palate, lowish CO2. Quite complex and decently balanced brew. 5446

Bottle @ home. Amber coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a medium white head. Light malty and fruity hinted aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is slighty bitter hoppy short sweet herby hinted. Average belgian strong ale;

Dark blond colour. Thin soapy head. Very hoppy but in a soft, unimposing way. Great balance of soft maltiness and hops. Really smooth and easy to drink.

(33cl bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a medium white head. Aroma of mustiness, lemon peel, yeast, and earth. Flavor of grass, yeast, florals, some fruit, and earth with a dry, somewhat bitter finish.

Bottle at De Kelk, Brugge, Belgie, 13th November 2011. Pours hazy amber with a slim white head. Yeasty and spicy nose this transfers to the mouth as well. Some hops present, middling bitterness, its fine. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2
