33cl bottle bought at De Schans, ABV 8%. Hazy amberbrown colour, off-white head. Aroma of glue, alcohol, caramel. Flavour is sour, bitter, glue, alcohol, yeast and some caramel. Finish is sour/bitter, like cacao bitter . Mouthfeel varies from syrupy in texture to watery in flavour. Not very refined.

Aroma is too much like cleaning liquid. Dirty taste with a strange soapy after taste. Some vitamine B there, too acidic. Bottle from De Bierwinkel in Leiden.

Murky brown body with small, quickly dissolving off white head. Grainy, cherries, raisin and barnyard. Thin body. Uncomplex but some nice light sourness and a pleasantly low carbonation. Sweet but not bad. (33cl bottle)
