Keg on Tap at Grain D’Orge, Hombourg, Belgium. Clouded Orange gold with large white head. Tart and wheaty blonde beer, quite yeasty, bready on the tongue with a late spiciness. A bit unrefined but still drinkable in a very pleasant brewery tap.

A Mes rate: Bottle from Quinns. Boring blonde looks with only a slight head. Boring hoppy blonde aroma. Sickly sweet and yeasty flavour. Unpleasant unbrewed malt with a strange sweet potato note. Very dull.

33 cl bottle from Denmark. Vinous aroma, but a weird medical flavour. There is a fine blond beer trying to get through here, but something has gone wrong. Maybe it is wise to wait until everything is under control before you export your beers?

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellowflavor orange with a thin white head. Spicy citrus and other fruit. Nice malty flavor with a spicy tingly finish.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 bottle, uto. Amber with creamy head - grey sediment (ick). Spicey orange aroma with apricot hints. Sweet taste of dried apricot and candied orange. Tastes a lot like those sugar coated orange chewy jelly candies. Spice in the finish nearly balances out the sweetness.

Bottled. Clear golden with a rich white foam. Alcoholic aroma of banana, rubber and mango-liqour. Sweet and dull flavour of mashed banana, alcohol and paint. Clean alcoholic finish of straw and sugar. No big hit.

Bottle. Yellow golden color with sediment, a small to average fizzy fair lacing mostly diminishing white head. Aroma is moderate fruity, spices, sour. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft.
