Honey gold color, with a thick white head, leaving a veil of laces, yeasty, spicy honeyed pale malt, with some alcoholic effluvia, with a hint of coriander and vanilla spiciness, with some fruity stewed aplles, a faint flowery hop citrusy and candy sugar in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, sweet honeyish pale malt character, with a spicy vanilla note, some fruity accents of stewed apples and pears, with a kind of corny touch and candi sugar, with a mellow warmth mouthfeel, a good carbonation, with a minty floral hop note, leading towards a warm dry finish.

Golden color. Medium carbonation. Aroma: some fruity notes but overwhelmed by the alcohol. Favor: some spices in the beginning ending in some hopbitterness but also now an overwhelming unbalanced alcohol warmness.

Golden colored, little white head.. Fruity and spicy, true Het-Anker aroma with rich hops, bitterness and licorice, yeast also can be recognised. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is nice with yeasty spices, nice fruits with this good licorice. Spices come up and last in aftertaste. Nice beer.

Bottled (thanks diabel!). Golden colour, mediumsized big white head. Aroma is malts, some alcohol and glue along with a bunch of spices. Flavour is alcohol, some malts, hops and very sweetish notes along with spices. The yeast becomes more evident as the beer warms up, and some caramelly notes make it a bit more fullbodied.
