Fruity notes, tea, malty and a bit sweet. Nice hop note, bit tart. Hazy medium orange-amber with light pff-white head. Medium body and medium carbonation. Taste is light, almost watery. Starts with light acidity, hops. Sourness starts toward the finih, as does just a bit of bitterness. Tangy bitter after.

Orange coloured, medium head, but colapses quick like at the photo. Smell is caramel, spices. Sweetness, but nothing renewing for sure... Taste is caramel, sweetness, some weird not so well fitting sourness comes up. Maybe the bottle isn’t good. Fruits comes trough also. Not my thing. Unbalanced, but again, maybe the bottle was not ok, cause I don’t see many people talking about that sourness...

Foxy copper colour, a couple of UFO’s under a medium cream-coloured head. Good carbonation. Chocolatey nose, milkchocolate, stale beer, garden weeds & unripe fruit. Again something chocolatey (with a bit of soluble coffeepowder), like mole, if not hot, but with roasted peppers. Lots of roasted notes, peanuts too. Finish has a certain, if very light acidity. Slightly empty palate, light to medium bodied, well-carbonated feel, slight slickness. It ain’t bad, but it has some minor brewing defects. Bit strange. Where is this actually brewed?

It’s hazy bronze with a creamy head, and the aroma has notes of malt and slightly sour yeast. The flavour is sourish with notes of yeast, fruit, malt, and the finish os slightly dry and sour.

Bottle, 6.5%. Farty aroma, strong and sweet alcohol note, dark malts. Cloudy amber colour. Very small white head. The flavour starts off malty with a little yeast, a little farty. Citric finish, but seems rather clean.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, amber colour with a short and collapsing off-white frothy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel, strong coriander spice and alcoholic fusels. Sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty, caramelly taste with pronounced spicy notes, mostly coriander; sweet and slightly bitter-tart and subtle fruity finish. A bit too spicy for my liking. 01.III.10
