From bottle at Bierpassie Weekend, Antwerpen. Pours cloudy pale golden with a small head. Fruity aroma with more than a touch of coriander. Coriander flavours are quite dominant though the fruit provides a good balance. A refreshing and well-balanced blond ale.

Bottle, 75cl, Hazy blond coloured beer with little to no carbonation and a small white head. Strong aroma, with herby touches, deffinately coriander and wheats. Full creamy palate. Finish is yeasty, herby and alcoholic. Very heavy full beer. Special but not that bad.

Bottle, 75 cl. (bought @ VBPF) Label has only 6,3 % alc. Hazy golden color, white head disappears rapidly. Aroma coriander, some wheat malts. Medium body. Taste is some tripel and some wheatbeer. Sourness, malts, coriander and other spice, bit sweet, and hops. Aftertaste is dry and some bitterness. Sorry Joris but i like this beer.

Pale, straw-yellow beer, hazy; no head for longer than 5 secs. Grassy nose, with lots of coriander. Taste is coriander², coriander soup, a disgusting, near-undrinkable concoction, sweetness from the alcohol and wheatsourishness annihilating each other. Soupy, oily, MF, warming. God, this is something to turn people off beer.
