Bottle at home. Red brown colour. Very poignant aroma. Honey but also wheat and spices. Lots of different flavours, toffee, honey, orange, but also a bit off. I checked the bottle and says good until August 2008. Not sure about this one.

Bottle @ home. Little bit of a gusher. Opaque orange color, huge foamy white head. Smell malts, sweetness and soap. Taste malts, overripe fruits, slightly alcohol. Very fizzy highly carbonated, low to medium body.

Flat head on a filtered orange beer. Little aroma in hee, some apple and maybe dough. Fairly balanced flavour but not smooth at all. Alcohol, although only 6,5%, is quite apparent. Sorry, it’s a dull beer. (1,75 EUR, 33cl bottle)

Bottled. Hazy orangeish brown colour with a mediumsized yellowish beige head, that leaves some slight lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some slight honey as well as mild breadyness. Also some slight gluelike sweetness. Flavour is honeyish, yeasty, quite sweet malty as well as mild stinging alcohol. A bit thin as for the palate, but otherwise a quite balanced brew.

Chestnut brown with golden glow, foam instantly disappears when poured. Strong scent of apple juice. That’s is, just apple juice, nothing else. Strong yeast flavour, bitter after taste, hint of barley, flat carbonation.

Clear dark golden color with no head. Aroma of sweet apple and a bit rusty. Tastes watery and a bit sour, apple and pear. Low carbonation.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is mild fruity and slight malty. Light orange to apple fruity flavoured with a mild and dry malty note showing through. Dry and slight yeasty and spiced finish. Light brew with a mild malt body.

Bottle, 6.5%. Weak lagery aroma. Seemingly clear dark amber colour. Nice big stable frothy and creamy white head. The flavour is a bit yeasty with some grassy aroma hops, getting slightly sour. Creamy mouthfeel. Like a flavourful Irish ale.

Bottled(330ml). -Slight hazy orange/golden coloured, small white head. Weak malty, sweet honeyish and caramel taste with notes of toffee and figs.Quite weak palate, some green apples and raisins in the finish. To sweet and also unbalanced beer.

from bottle@In De wildeman, amsterdam. Hazy bronze with a small tan head. Nutty aroma with hints of raisins. Dryish nutty flavours, some caramel and fruit. Quite alright.

Bottle@Home. Aroma of raisin, plum and some carbonation. Orange/brown color, yellowish head, few lace. Very sweet, raisin, figues, lightly smoked, light bitter. Sugarwater mouthfeel. Smells a bit amateuristic but the flavors are very nice. Is miss the correct balance though and the mouthfeel is certainly disappointing.
