Flavour is quite bitter, mild maltiness. Bready and the hops is very well applied. Pine, grass and slightly spicy at the end. Good. bierkoning (6113), La Tropica, Netherlands

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 15, 2008 330ml bottle - - Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam
Slightly hazy orange. Sweet and slightly vegetal hoppy aroma. Lively carbonation. Very bitter taste, both a dark resiny back-of-the-mouth bitterness and also a sharp biting bitterness too. Unsurprisingly bitter finish, both components. Each sip gives you more, so do not do a 5cl tick with this one if you respect good beer. However, you will need to cleanse your palate afterwards, as those hops stick firm. Softer with yeast, less punchy and bitey, but no less hoppy. So add all the yeast.
