Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg as well as strong notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet and very wheaty and very spicy again cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg are present, leading to a dry spicy and wheaty end. The body is thin.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Hazy, golden with an off-white head. Very spicy accents in the nose - slightly gingery. Thin and somewhat watery body, sweetish, spicy and almost soapy. Dy finish. But a decent summer quencher. 200507

opaque light orange, fine white head, streaks of drippy lace, light sweet fruity aroma, creamy yet carbonate body, lots of sweet orange flavor, character is kept light by the wheat, carbonic bite and sweet orange makes this an orange soda and gets a good score only because I like orange cream sodas,
