This pours quite strange. For the most part it is an opalescent lemon yellow - not amber. Down the middle is a colloidal haze making a shape that reminds me of the double helical molecule of life. There is just a bit of spongy white head. The aroma is very subtle, only the faintest fruitiness coming through. This is the only serious problem with this beer. The flavor is complex. Dry and dusty like a good saison, the flavor is clean. There is some maltiness manifesting as biscuits - or triscuits - and a slight caramel note. A good yeast fruity character is present as well. This beer is ridiculously effervescent, approaching a champagne. Even though it is so bubbly, it is far from too intense.

The Fonefan/Brugmansia Cnudde tasting. Nice amber with a rapidly vanishing head. The aroma is sweetish and spicy with notes of malt and citrus. The flavour has sweetness, notes of caramel, citrus, light candy sugar and coriander. It’s smooth and easy to drink, but it’s a bit boring!

Hazy amber with a disappearing bubbly off-white head. Lemon tea aroma with some coriander. Sweet and coriander dominated flavour.

Hazy deep golden with medium off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity and coriander notes. Sweet flavor with yeasty, coriander and peachy notes. Ends sweet.

Bottle. [thank you, faroeviking]
Pours a slightly coppery amber with a frothy and bubbly dirty-white head. Aroma is peppery hops, ginger and caramel maltiness. Low carbonation. Flavour is a little metallic, caramel maltiness. Rather mild flavour, a little boring. Some liqourice in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Orange colour. Powerfull hoppy light malty aroma. Really nice flavor with strong orange notes. Long moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. nice beer.
