Bottle at Cafe de la Gare, Den Haag. Lovely clear brown pour with a thin white head. Lovely dry hopped aroma with an amazingly smooth and flavourful bitter taste and a lovely warm bitterness on the palate. I really liked this beer. Track it down.

Draft at Cafe Belgie. Pours clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma of caramel, fruits, herbs. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

A kinézete olyan, mint ha egy jó fajta ipával lenne dolgunk. A habja viszont még annál is krémesebb és tartósabb. Illata selyemcukros, csipkebogyós, malátás és kissé komlós. Íze igen malátásan és kissé kukoricásan és karamellásan kezd, aztán szőlősen, komlósan és picit melaszosan folytatódik. Az egész olyan, mintha egy kicsit sokat pihent volna egy öreg pincében. Közepesen testes és moderáltan buborékos. Utóíze keserédes és kissé cukros. Furcsa de nem rossz.
