2010-04-12 300 ml bottle. light golden colour. white fading head. poor in taste.

Keg @ Bishops Arms, Malmö, 21 May 2006
Surprisingly enough, this was a golden bok bier. Sweet and more full bodied that the standard lager. Dusty like a german pils. Easy hopped.

20 Jun 2005 - (Inge B&B, Haarlem) - Slight sweet hop malt aroma. Clear orange golden colour, low head and lacing. Sweet malt, a bit simplistic, with spiritous hop flavour. Sickly sweet hop lingering finish.

Bottle, gold to amber coloured, small head. Aroma is sweet, some hops. Sweet taste, with a short finish. Nothing special.

Bottle 100 cl, 2000 vintage. Pours a dark brown with a small and fading white head and a sweet scent with a sour finnish. The initial taste is sour and the finnish is sour with a sweet note. This sample is fairly aged, but still really drinkable. I will rate a fresh one in the near future

Pfffew too sweet, sweetened beer, too bad! Sweet beer is commercially interesting here in Holland (maybe elsewhere too), but i don’t like it anymore! Light malt nose with some peach and a sulfuric aroma i can’t put my finger on. Tastes sweet, boozy, bitter, malty, some fruit and some caramel. Finishes again too sweet for my taste. If they used less sugar this could be compared too a german maibock. Not!

UPDATED: APR 28, 2013 Bottle@home, 300 ml. Head: thick white foam. Aroma: hops, some malt. Taste: sweet. Palate: refreshing, bitter-sweet finish, low CO2. Overall: ok, a bit too sweet

bottled 33 cl. dark gold/light amber color, thick white head (later in the season same beer produces hardly any head. Fruity taste with some sweet caramel. Alcohol is well hidden, A nicely done springbok.

Aroma: Malts, bit fruity, citrus. Appearance: Orange golden without real head. Taste: Sweet, No real bitter. Palate: light body, thin feel, soft carbonation. Overall: Not a good beer it tastes as if it has been standing in strorage for a year .....

30 cl bottle, bbe Aug 05. Light amber, clear, weak head. Malty and cheesy aroma. A very unusual flavour mixing bread notes, sharp hoppiness, sticky maltiness and something undefinable. Complex, sweet, bitter and light acidic on the palate. Thus, tastes better than it either smells or looks like.
