Bottled. Hazy orange/amber coloured, big head. Alcoholic nose, some yeast and perhaps some spices. Bitter and dry flavour, which takes a few sips to get used to. Bitter and dry finish. Gets better when warming up, especially when adding the yeast shot. Some Duvel characteristics. This one, together with the Turfsteker referment in the bottle. For this one i think aging might really improve the flavour.

Goudgeel, veel kraag die uiteindelijk als een laagje op het bier blijft liggen. Aroma van graan. Smaakt bitterzoet, vlakke smaak. Vrij weinig body.

Aroma is honing, wat citrus, zoet fruit en kruidig. Fijne krachtige kraag. Smaak is ook kruidig en citrus, met een korte droge afdronk.

Fles 33cl Kleur: Goudgeel met een flinke witte schuimkraag. Geur: Licht zurig, niet erg duidelijk Smaak: Begint licht zoet en eindigt in een scherpe bittere nasmaak. De bitterheid is te scherp naar mijn mening.

Bottle @ home, bought it at a local store in Coevoorden I think. Pretty standard yellow color, not a really nice smell. Smells a little dull and musty to me. Overall not really bad, but nothing more than decent.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and moderate hoppy acetic aroma. Light bitter slightly acetic flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate and a little too fizzy.

Bottle 330ml. @ home.

Clear medium orange yellow color with a large to huge, frothy to fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, malty sweet, acidic citrus, fruity, yeasty, moderate to light heavy vinegar, sharp aroma. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, light to moderate acidic and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, fruity, IMO off but it worked okay after half a glass. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100820]

Orange pour, huge soapy head towering almost two inch above the glass. Aroma of sour fruit. Very sour and alcoholic flavour. Side note of dish washing liquid. Too raw sourness, missing real flavour. I hope this is the result of an erroneous brewing process.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained not much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a thick dark blond color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is light hoppy bitter with a citrus touch. This beer smells mouldy.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, fluffy mediumsized white head. Aroma is rubbery alcohol mess. Flavour is very sour, rubbery and alcoholic with some wheat or speltlike sweetness lurking. Also some mild burnt skin.

Bottled (7 %, 10/2009). Tnx bierkoning! A bit hazy orange color, medium-sized off-white creamy head. Citrus, yeast and a sour note in the nose. Sour, citrusy, kind of wheaty. Some alcohol. Weird beer, maybe infected?
