Orange colored brew. Grainy, rice, malty. Flavor is a bit sweet, some rice, malty. Not too good.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Amber, lacing head. Caramel aroma. In the mouth well-balanced caramel with a hint of bread.Not very complex, but absolutely drinkable and well-crafted.

Bottle at home. Clear deep golden to orange pour with a creamy foamy off-white head. Very malty fruity aroma with sugar, spicy hops and grains. Flavor is crispy bitter with some malty sweetness in a nice balance. Quite long bitter finish. Decent brew.

Tap in Gulpen. Yellow to gold coloured, white head. Hoppy and a bit fruity aroma, slightly bitter. Not sweet with a tiny bitterness in the finish.

2010-04-12 300 ml bottle. orange golden colour. white fading head. herbale taste.

Clear brown orange pour, medium off-white head. Aroma of hops and sweet malt. Flavour starts quite bitter and full, evolves to a more subtle sweet bitterness. Good carbonation, medium lasting flavour. Nice beer, but I need more spring.
