[9/11/08] Draught at Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Clear golden with a white head. Pleasant aroma of slightly spicy hops, some maltiness, a bit of graininess and citrus. Sweet flavor, a bit bready and slightly spicy at first with honey notes. Continues with pleasant, slightly grassy, bitterness. Medium-bodied.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 3 Aug 2009) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of grain, peaches, citrus and grass. Malty, grassy taste with citrus, a touch of wheat and generous amounts of grassy hops in a quite bitter and dry finish. Medium body. Very nice and refreshing.

A sturdy white head on top of a yellow body. The smell is metallic. I had to bite my way to the liquid, and that was a hopy experience on its own. The beer itself is hops before and hops after. The body is its means of transportation. No more, no less. The palate of bitterness is one dimensional, and is even boring after a while. The metal stays omnipresent. What started out as promising, ends in a bit of a disappointment.

Bottle at de Wildeman, Amsterdam, 06-06-09 Pours hazy amber with a white bubbly head. Aroma I found to be a touch artificial especially the sweetness. Soft in the mouth, its definately hoppy but there is a cloying sweetness, with honey dripping through and the malt and alcohol also in evidence. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov13 3.3

Tap @ Arendsnest. Pours yellow-gold with fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus and light pine. Taste is somewhat sweet if this were an IPA (which I now see it isn’t). Some citrusy hop presence in the flavor as well. Decent palate with a finish of some alcohol and hops.
