Draught. Dark golden coloured. Unclear. Dense brownish head. ARoma of sweetness, yeast and light banana. Flavour of caramel, yeast, light banana and sweetness. Medium bodied. Fruity and yeasty end with a light grapy touch.

Bottle 33 cl from Willems in Grobbendonk (B). Red blonde with creamy white head. Complex aromas, fruity and malty, we feel the mellow side of the force and plants. Sweet and round flavour but hoppy, touches herb and salt. Light acidity. Well balance with more bitterness in final, hints of garlic but also almond and lemon-orange zest.

Sweet aroma with yeast, hops and fruity notes. Sweet flavour with malt, yeast, grassy hops and peaches. Finished bitter and dry.

bottle, yellow colour with stable white head. Smell: a bit stinking malt. You’d expect to have a bad beer. But when you start drinking: malty, yeasty, spicy (coriander, ? ) . Quit complex brew with some strange notes. Nice malty and garlic taste in the aftertaste.

17th August 2008. Hazy golden beer. Unusual taste - it’s bitter throughout with a dry finish. But there is a couple of sweet notes of bubblegum and sugar. The aftertaste is hop bitterness. Found this slightly hard work.

Bottled from Eko supermarket, Bussum. Hazy yellow coloured. Malty character, some hops, pretty spicy. Not bad, but nothing special.

330ml bottle at home from my 2009 belgian beer trip ... crisp light amber in colour ... with a nice easy soft bready yeasty nose ... flavour is smokey ... with a little woody and yeasy ... as well as a little salty ... all in all nice if fairly uninspired, but easily drinkable

EBF08. Pours cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is sweet caramel, notes of fruits. flavour is sweet caramel, some fruityness and alcohol.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2009 This must be the best beer of the world. Taste good, looks good AND Bio! How does a good beer taste, well like a Jessenhofke

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2009 Nice herb beer with good head, good aroma, garlic in balance. Maybe a little more stability between the different beverages from different dates.
