At ACBF 2011. Clear gold, thin white head. Slightly Nelson Sauvin style sweaty sox flavour. decent but too sweaty sox.

Draft @ Beer temple, just after hearing the good news! Aroma is Belgian hops, spices and some off notes. Flavour is deep spicy herbal hops, not that bitter, with a touch of malt sweetness. Seemed a bit young still.

Amber sleightly murky hazy color, small off-White head. Grainy malt aroma mixed with alchohol and rubarb?! Rubarb and straeberry fruity sweet aroma, wierd but interesting...alchohol and sweet malty finish.

Mild cremiger Hopfenantrunk mit großer Restsüße. Die aufkommenden grasigen Noten unterliegen leider der zu großen Süße. Anschließend wird das Bier schnell milder, die Süße bleibt aber weitestgehend bestehen. Nicht wirklich rund. 10/7/8/8//8

On tap at Arendsnest, Amsterdam on 1 April 2011. Noted at 6.8%. Hazy pale amber colour. Pungent flowery and nettley hop aroma. Strong perfumed hop flavour. A touch of sweetness. Quite light mouthfeel with fairly modest bitterness, giving rise to a mellow, easygoing feel. Tasty and very decent although I would have preferred just a little more bite.
