Post Borefts I Invasion of Fonefan and Charlottes room tasting! Hazy amber beer. Softish palate, mildly fruity and malty. A little subtle spice. Easy drinking. Original 3.3

3rd May 2010
Cloudy dark amber beer, frothy short lived off white head. Light dry palate. Nice caramel malt fairly well balanced with bittering stingy hops. Marmalade orange, faint raspberry and a little Nelson Sauvin like blackcurrant. Finishes soft and a little dry with more fruit. Solid beer, good stuff.

Smells lightly sour. Tastes bitter, but I don’t taste enough of the Chinook-hops and it doesn’t really tastes like 60 EBU to me. Maybe a little bit thin texture, but still a very nice mouthfeel.

Bottle 330ml. @ home.

Clear medium to dark orange amber color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, toasted - caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, grass, orange - citrus, moderate yeasty, light medicine - plaster. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110124]

Bottle: Big off white foamy head on top of a very light cloudy yellow orange colored beer. Smell hops, flowers, fruit, rosehip, hints of strawberry, apple, pear, malt, spices and sweets. Taste is a soft and bitter mix of hops, flowers, (red) fruits, roosvicee, hints of strawberry, apple, grass, wheat, yeast, spices and sweets. Aftertaste is grassy and more bitter. Medium carbo and body and soft tingling light watery mouthfeel.

2011 - 01 - 23 330 ml bottle. hazy dark orange colour. white fading head. sharp bitter triple like taste. not my favourit kind of beer.....

(Bottled) Opaque amber with a small, mostly fading head. Yeasty and (exotic-)fruity, sweetish-caramely aroma, a bit like ’t IJ Columbus. Yeasty and homebrewish-harsh flavor with licorice, exotic fruit, and cookie-like maltiness, candy sweetness. 60 EBUs are well hidden in the sweet-fruity yeastiness. Almost medium body, quite low and soft carbonation. Quite a homebrewish attempt to follow the fashionable US hops wave, yet in some strange ways I like this. 5434

Bottle @ home. Cloudy amberish orange, small off white head. Aroma is subtle floral and fruity hop and sweet malt. Flavour is a bit watery medium hop bitterness, some fruit, some earth, subtle malt note. Quite nice.
