5.5% version - hazy blond-orange colour with just some bubbles on the side of the glass; very spicy nose (ginger, cloves?) with orange and yeasty notes; the overcarbonation almost hides succesfully the modest malt body, the finish is very dry with harsh bready and spicy notes - marshmallowish and unkind

Botttled. Yellow coloured. Unclear. Off white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma. A bit bland. Flavour is citric, yasty and fruity with a light spicenote. Thin bodied. Sweet and honeyish in the end.

Golden color, big head. Very light aroma, a bit herbal. Weak body, almost watery, with a light mint touch; just a bit drier and more bitter than the Blanche, otherwise very similar.

Bottle conditioned. Bought at a farmer’s market in Van Gogh’s hospital in Arle. This is quite a fruity blonde with light hints of caramel and herbs, but spoiled with an infection. This would possibly be a fine beer in good condition. Possibly worth 3.0

An unclear orange beer with a small collapsing white head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of caramel, mussels, and salt - it’s a little like walking along a beach. The flavor is very spicy with notes of coriander on a sour wheaty backgroung and the body is thin. A boring blonde.

Hazy yellow coloured. Oranges, citrus, yeast and spices in the aroma. Very bad flavour of yeast and peas. Thin and watery.
