floydian1 (546) - FNQ, AUSTRALIA - MAY 31, 2012
From a 330ml bottle (exp 12/12). Appears clear golden in the glass with a medium white head and scanty lace. Nose is honey sweet golden malts with a light fruity hop presence and soft spiciness. I get none of the advertised juniper berries. Taste is quite sweet but pleasant with a nice Belgian style yeasty presence. Fullish bodied. Like a decent Belgian Blonde Ale.

Pale with a little haze, pillowy receding head. Sweet fruit and alcoholic note, low level bubblegum perhaps. Flavours of bready malt, some yeast, juniper, soft well rounded mouthfeel with a touch of Co2 bite initally and finishes slightly sour.

GothGargoyle (280) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 28, 2011
Orange with a small pale head that disappears quickly. Aroma is peach, honeysuckle, juniper and hay. Flavour is of honey, juniper, chamomile. Slightly dry finish with a bit of a herbal aftertaste. Quite different but a little too flowery for me.

Svesse (4399) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JUL 14, 2011
(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm, 11 July 2011) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, spicy nose with flowers, grass, some juniper twigs and something undefined herbal. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of citrus, mild spices and gentle jenever hints coming through towards the finish. Slightly more than medium body, fairly dry, with a grassy bitterness. Nice and well balanced.

erickok (1086) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - FEB 17, 2011
Golden and clear with a solid white head. Aroma has bread, winegum, spices, wheat and honey. Complex oily body full of delicate flavour. Aftertaste is quite dry and reveal more elements to this great beer. Very - almost too - easy to drink as well. An interesting and delicate beer. Too bad it’s pretty expensive. (3,25 EUR, 33cl bottle)
