An unclear pinkish red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is extremely sweet with notes of peaches, yeast, coriander, as well as other spices. The flavor is also very sweet and again it contains notes of coriander, oranges, peaches, as well as cinnamon. Nice.

33 cL bottle@fonefan/Brugmansia’s Cnudde tasting. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mouldy and overripe fruity aroma. Flavour is sweet and light woody with a distinct fruit note. Mild yeasty accent. Fruity lingering finish.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is apricot, plum and riped apples along with some slight alcoholic hints. Flavour is sour fruits and a lot of apricot. Alcohol gives a small warming feeling. Easy drink and hides the alcohol well.

Bottled. Clear orange, faint head. Strong buttery aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Soapy and lightly caramelly with slight shampoo-like bitterness. Lacking in character.

Bottled. Clear orange coloured with a huge off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with herby notes. Sweet fruity flavour with acidic and spicy notes.

Orange to light amber color; fine stormy perlage, supporting the giant head. Dry and spicy aroma, strong coriander character, wonderful Triple. Ordinary malty flavor a bit sweet, but with an unpleasant ammonia touch (it’s the first time I encounter ammonia in a beer! I try to limit this burden in my rating).

Keg, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Orange to light amber color. Peculiar aroma: malt, caramel, a bit flowery, fudge… Sweet, malty, light fruitness. Strange, original, interesting.

Clear deep golden with tiny short lasting head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel and yeasty notes. Flavor is sweet with ripe fruits, alcohol and malty notes. Ends sweet.

33cl bottle @ Fish&beer, Copenhagen. Pours golden orange with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet of orange fruits & yeast. Smooth mouthfeel & a filling, round & soft body. Taste of orange peel, yeast & alcohol which warms your throat a bit. Quite sweet. OK enjoyable though a bit cloying in the end!
