Martinus (1782) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - OCT 14, 2011
Dark orange amber colour, slight haze, small tan head. Nose of hops, malt, caramel, vanilla, fruity passion fruit, grapefruit, floral tones. Flavour is sweet malts with a hoppy bitterness, fruity hoppy flavours. Bitter finish.
Good hop background to the malts. Balanced. I’m quite fond of this one, would love to see it become more available.

MiP (12136) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - OCT 3, 2011
Cask at Borefts 2011. Spicy hop aroma, hint of grass and vegetable. Almost clear dark amber colour. Small stable tan head. The flavour is sweet with the sourness that often comes with cask ales. Slightly refreshing on the sweet background. Does not taste too alcoholic.
