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

From 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange/yellow, no head. Aroma is very citric/orange. Flavour is candy, orange and sweet. Finish is soft candy.

Draught at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Cloudy blond color. Some wheat aroma, cookies too, milky; strange. The aroma is not bad, unfortunately the flavor is bad: weak, empty, dry, with an unpleasant aftertaste, a bit herbal.
