Cloudy golden with a tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with malty and yeasty notes. Flavour was sweet with fruits, malty and yeasty notes.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit and yeast as well as a bit of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruits, pomerans, and yeast, leading to a dry spicy finish.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and light malty roasted. Fruity and slight yeasty. Light phenolic and fruity finish.

Bottle that I picked up either in Belgium or Carrefour, Calais, can’t recall. Consumed last week in Norfolk I struggled to find this on the database, so thanks very much to Joris pointing me in the right direction. The beer pours hazy amber with a slight orangey glow and a white head. The initial taste is a bit custard creamy biscuit, there is a sweet malty base and a hint of warming alcohol slips through. There is a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon (I often get them confused) amongst the spiciness on the nose and also in the mouth. The nose also displaying some sweet aroma’s. There’s no denying that there is a sweetness to this that frustrates a little but its a decent beer. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov13 3.3
