For a lentebock this is dark in colour, almost amber. Plenty of fresh hop in the nose. Flavour has a good balance of sweet, soft caramel malt and dry, bitter hop.

Clear, amber to light brown body. Heavy carbonation which yields in a big but quickly disintegrating head. Fruity malts dominate the aroma, like pear, peach and even some strawberry. Add a light caramel and doughy base. Accessible, seems to be the idea. Taste is luckily more pronounced with a pretty decent amount of hops to counter the light sweet character. Better than expected, even though it’s a bit heavy for the targeted bright spring day. (33cl bottle, very cheap)

Dark coulor, no head,.. very good taste, one of the betters

Pours light amber with creamy foam. Malty aroma. Fairly straightforward light bock; malt and alcohol, nice when cold, not complex.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear golden color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a fruity touch . This beer smells to fruity.

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.

very sweet unbalanced malty brew. lots of alc. in the finish. some fruit esters come along too. not so good...

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear orange with a medium but fading white head and a sweet aroma with notes of orange, malts and spices. The taste is sweet, with hints of sweet malts, spices, liquorice, mild hops, almonds and ripe prunes. Not a really good springbock

draft at Pothuiske in Maastricht. Dark orange color, almost reddish. small but nicely lacing head, must have got a very fresh one. Malts in the nose, with light sweet caramel. Higher alcohol is well hidden.
