3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - JAN 19, 2009
[33cl bottle] Hazy, amber colour with a big and light-beige foamy head. Aromatic and pretty strong spicy and piney hops aroma with notes of citrus, licorice and nettles. Moderately bitter flavour, medium bodied and a bit fizzy on the tongue. Dry malty base with a good dash of Cascade hops, leading into a dry and bitter finish with licorice and piney hops in the aftertaste. Another pleasant SNAB brew [07.I.09].

From tap at Arendsnest. Pours almost clear orange with a fully diminished white head. Nice citrusy hops aroma ad mild caramel sweetness. Fruity flavour of apples, oranges and citrusy notes wit a nice caramel malt base balancing the hops just enough. Smooth and bitter fruity finish. Nice one.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20 Borresteijn (2596) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - AUG 12, 2008
On tap @ Arendsnest, several times. I love this beer. Golden orange/copper coloured beer, nice white head. Aroma of hops, pine and grapefruit, some malts. Flavour is fantastic, sweet fruits and hop bitterness, grapefruit, malts. Soft mouthfeel, highly drinkable. Since the shortage of American hops it tastes less bitter, making it less good. Still one of my favourites.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Dickinsonbeer (5077) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - MAY 5, 2008
On Tap at Arendsnest with Bierkoning. Pours a medium copper with a thin head and good lace. Aroma is nice cascade hops- gets a bit metallic, grassy and soapy though with some orange peel and citronella candle. Light sweet sticky caramel flavor, but starts to dry out in the middle with toasted malts, and a raw hoppy bitterness in the end with some more orange zest.
