A hazy orange beer with a nice creamy off-white head. The aroma is very spicy and sharp - I can’t really pick out the individual parts - but I pick up honey and grapefruit. The flavor is weird - a lot of wheat and a lot of spices - though I can’t pick them out - not even the gooseberries. The mouthfeel is very smooth and the end dry and a bit watery.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy orangey golden with a small, white head. Some yeast sediment and impurities. Weak berry aroma - or perhaps rather herbal?? Medium body and sweetish malty with a vague touch of fruit. Limited bitterness. Superfluous. 270806

50 cL bottle. Pours almost clear to pale yellow with a lacing white head. Light lemonish aroma and mild herbal. Herbal and light spice flavour with a minor lemon twist. Ends with a smooth yeasty note and more lime-ish citric flavour.
