Red amber with a lasting off-white head. Fruity yeast and caramel in the aroma. Sweetish yeasty flavour with fruit and caramel.

Bottle. Almost clear, golden in color and topped by a finger thick off-white head. It’s lightly funky on the nose, lemony, with hints of maltyness, as well as canned peaches and some orange peel. Canned peaches, generic fruityness and sugar in the flavor, lacking on bitterness in all phases. Medium body, a bit low on carbonation. Well, I gave it 3.1, but I’m not sure it deserves that high a score. 110916

Bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Slight gusher. Hazy orange color, small off-white head. Smell sweetness, fruits. Taste malts, sweet, fruity. Medium but lightly fizzy carbonation, low to medium body.

Hazy orange, no head. Smells quite hoppy and fruity. Tastes sweet, watery and a bit iron like. For me way too much carbo. Makes it hard to drink.

Tawny liquid beneath a small, off-white head. Quickly recedes and leaves just a tiny bit of lacing - in patches. A funky malt aroma, earthy. Dry. Sour. That’s about it. Nothing spectacular about this offering.
