Small, white rim over hazy orange beer. Grassy, vegetable-bitterish nose, with greenmalt, and indeed, flowers - but if it is dogrose is not recognizable. Perfumy flavour, but also human sweat, old peanuts, fatty acids. Very slick, buttery texture. I would have expected flavours as from rosewater, but what I get is butter in aging stock.

Hazy pale yellow colour, white head. Aroma of malts, light sour touch, sweets (zuurtjes) and yeast. Somewhat sweet flavour, malts, light wheat sour touch. Fruity floral finish.
Somewhat older sample (as it was already the end of April), which seems to have diminished the rose aromas to just a floral note in the finish. But it’s still a nice beer.
(Draught @ ZBF ’12. As Winter 12, obviously)

Bottle - 375mL corked and caged. Murky gold with a tall, foamy white head. Aroma is flowery with big dusty yeast notes, fruit, sweet malt, and soft peppery spice.

Thanks GT! Hazy peach pour with a thin white head. Banana clove and spicy herbal dough lead to lemony crispness and stone fruit. Medium body with low carbonation. Dry finish.

Tap at CK. pours hazier light orange with no head formation. Ring of white bubbles. Sweet orange candies with sharp herbal perfume moving sadly to intense acetone/ nail polish remover. Thinner mouthfeel with lots of rose water and Turkish delight herbals. Very thin mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(Bottled, 0.375l) Murky amber with a smallish, lacy head. Caramely, yeasty nose with rosy floweriness and a touch of wheaty sourness. Flavor is yeasty, caramely-malty, candy-flowery, lightly bitter-worty, peppery-spicy. Dry bitterness in the finish. Medium+ body, soft CO2. A quite decent, balanced and yeasty-flowery - but not too sweet - brew. 4556

Bottle from Beer Planet. Dark wheaty body with huge head. Nose of soap and citrus. Taste of honey, wheat, some citrus and sweet brandy. A nice beer that goes down well.
