2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a medium, hazy orange color with a larger sized white head. Lots of small particles. Aromas of spices, bananas, and lemons. Lighter tastes (not as strong as the smell would have led me to believe). Fizzy body that also came across as flat and boring (does that make any sense).

Pepper, dandelion, hint of mint (esp. in the flavor). Hazy yellow brown with irregular head. Vinegar flavor, clove, lemon drop. I can understanding someone saying there is honey, too. Lemon poppyseed pound cake. It suggests a sweet finish. Interesting in its complexity. Herbal tea quality. I would want to drink this beer if I had a bad cold. Unremarkable palate. Interesting and drinkable.

cloudy orange with a white head. aroma is clove, green and banana pepper, muddy honey and mint. taste is some lemon and vinegar, herbs of some kind that i can’t specifically identify. stem tasting. finish is mediciney but rather nice. sweetness lingers in a citrus way.

So so. Poured a clever orange cloudy color. Wispy head. Slight tart in the palate. Really nothing special.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This deep gold brew with a white merengue head smelled of coriander and citrus , it taste was slightly tart with notes of cherrios and fresh bread, spices round off the flavors (sweet Orange peel and coriander) the mouth feel was medium to thin kinda lifeless after the intial sips.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Arendsnest, Amsterdam. Hazey white/yellow, with a thickish head. Really nice chalky lemon aroma. Less chalky than expected in the mouth, more sliky in fact, with a lemon meringue pie feeling. Sweet fruit, with creamy fizz and a crunchy carbonation on the finish. Very good stuff, even though I never clocked it was anything other than a standard Wit stylee.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is, I believe, my first gruit beer and, given the opportunity, will not be my last. Not that it’s that great. More like interesting. (The experience reminds me of having my first Fraoch. Interesting then; enjoyable now.) It pours a cloudy lemon yellow with a skinny white head. The aroma is quite refreshing, grassy, herbal (but not like Koyt, as they say), with a lemon twist. The brew lost its carbonation early on, but has a tart mouthfeel to take its place. Spicy (both sweet and bitter) but light to the taste buds, this has a dry, lemony finish. Nice.
