Dark, murky yellow appearance. Thick white head that dissipates quickly. Nice aroma of honey, flowers, grass en some tea leaves. Very appealing taste of honey, slightly sour and sweet. A tiny bit sharp alcohol taste. Dry bitter finish. Well balanced beer. A favorite.

Bottled@Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is toffee, some alcohol, fruits, mild yeastyness. Flavour is quite much the same. Toffeeish and perfumed aftertaste.

33 cL bottle. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a 2finger thick off-white head. Aroma is spiced and dry malty. Light phenolic too. Flavour is dry spiced and dry malty with a distinct phenolic dominant note on the back of the nose. Light sweetness on the back of the tongue though. Spiced lingering into the far finish.

Bottle from Bier Koning. Wondrous orange body w/ slight head. Fruity nose. Bold taste of orange, candy, fruits. Perhaps even some zoethout.

Bottled (BB 12/2007)
Hazy amber-orange-nut brown color, steady creamy off-white head. Vinegar, candy, grass in the nose. Sweetish candy sugarish flavors, which doesn’t show much of its ABV. Then there is some woody-grassy hoppy notes and soya sauce. It’s quite typical strong Dutch ale with sweetness and those woody flavors.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange coloured brew with some fruity hints, not bad at all.

(Bottled) Hazy amber with a small, lacy head. Without yeast, the aroma is quite alcoholic with unclean, sourish toffee. Sourish-vegetably flavor has the same diesel-alcoholic feel, with caramely, sweetish toffee. Yeast makes both smoother, but not that much more pleasant - while emphasizing the sweetness. Medium to full-bodied palate with smooth carbonation. The honey seems to have fermented almost fully. Not very impressive, but drinkable with yeast.

After part of the beer gurgled out of the bottle the smell was ok, some banana and malts too. There is a slight sourness/citrus flavor too it that is also in the aftertaste. An ok beer bought in Leiden at the Bierwinkel.

Caramel brown colour, Strong, long lasting head. Lightly sour smell, lots of hops, somewhat sweet. Strong hop flavour, slightly sweet. Long aftertaste, lots of hops.

Bottle, 8.5%. Vinous flavour, sweet marcipan, and quite citric. Hazy dark golden colour. Small creamy white head. Thin mouthfeel.
