0.5L bottle at Spuyten Duyvil as Annafestbier. Golden colour with a very soft herbal aroma. A bit dusty and lightly yeasty. There is even a touch of fruitiness which is unusual for the beers we’ve had today. Quite aromatic. Long lingering flinty bitter finish. Unusual but also very tasty.

Bottle, from trade with maria. A clear, golden to copper pour topped by a diminishing off-white head. The aroma is on the fruity side, with apples being the dominant fruit, but there’s also some sweet malty notes. Fruity-sweet, almost syrupy flavor with pears and apples, a little tropical fruits and a tiny hoppy bitterness. Some alcohol too. Full body, and a malty finish, sweet and fruity, low on bitterness, but still quite dry. A quite nice beer, but a bit on the syrupy-sweet side for my likings. (080716)

Dark golden with a dense head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of malt, caramel and a slightly dry citrus. It could have a little more to offer, but the finish is long and very nice.
