33cl, exclusive brewery, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, yet not balanced, cloudy, small head, nice brew

Bottle from Beer Planet. Murky gold body with medium head. Sour and citrus nose. Taste is sweet, fruity, quite sour. Bitter in the finish. Okay.

bottle., thanks ot bu11zeye, cloudy yellow with sour lemon aroma and flavor with some plastic on the finish

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is actually fairly nice. I get some lemons and wheat, as well as a very inviting tartness. The flavor is not as good as the aroma. I get some wheat and lemons as in the aroma, but I also get a strong taste of band-aids. Not good at all. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(330ml bottle) Opens as a gusher. Pours a cloudy maize body with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of florals, citrus, herbs, leather, and sweet tarts. Flavor of florals, sulfur, some brett, and spoiled melon.

Gushing bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Very murky yellowish orange color with a white foamy head. Aroma is tart notes, sharp fruit and sour grains. Flavor is also a bit tart, with lemony sweetness. Band aid finish.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, light-amber colour with a short and slightly tanned foamy head. Yeasty and moderately sweet (cara-)malty aroma with fruity notes of apricots, citrus and a shy hoppy touch. Slightly sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, medium bodied at most with a flat carbonation. Fruity malty taste with yeasty spice and a tinge of hops; slightly sourish and tart finish with the alcohol well-covered. Does not fit together nor work for me. 02.XI.10

Bottle 75cl. @ The Danish Summer Gathering Tasting, TSODRBSG09.
Clear medium to dark yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate yeasty, fruity, brett, light alcohol. Flavor is moderate to light light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090822]

Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. An almost clear, almost golden beer with a white head. Slightly chalky, citrusy bretty nose with pale malts as a base. Citrusy bretty flavor too, with pale malts and a little bitterness. Dry, medium bodied with a little warmth. Dry, sour and bitter finish. Not a super-good beer and probably not sour on purpose, still a repectable beer. 090822

15th August 2008. Cloudy gold beer with a very frothy head. Wheaty maly but no fruitiness. Strong heady beer but lacks much flavour.
