t IJ Columbus

Bottle. Clear golden colour (with seditives) with beautifull frothy lasting head. Amazing levels of fruity acidity in the aroma. Yeasty flavor. Lasting finish. Really a well made beer.

bottle @ lowander, creechurch lane. Bright orange amber w/ dense cream head fading to a nice lace. Wonderful aroma of spiced pumpkin, cinnamon and spiced apple with pineapple notes. Taste is a bit of a let down after the aroma - it’s not very full on flavour. Blood orange, alcohol, spice, yeast and unsweetened bitter lemon tea. Finish lacks the warming alcohol that should accompany a 9%. Prickly mouthfeel b/c of the fine carbonation. Similar to Smisje Halloween.

Bottle from the Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam. Lovely cloudy, golden ale with a large firm head. The first sip puzzles me. What is this? An explosion of flavour. Fruit - apples, pears and oranges. Spice - nutmeg, corander and cinnamon. Hoppy fruitiness with a cider-like dry finish. All these elements blend superbly into each other. Amazing.

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Fuffy off-white head meringues and volcanoes on surface. Tangy lemon/orange aromas. Smooth sweet caramel with an off-bandaid lasting spicy finish.

Tap at Gollem, march 07. Shinny, hazy, golden-yellow color and a fine, creamy white head. Spicy, coriander, peppery with a slight alcoholic hint. Medium to light MF with a dry, spicy ending. Spicy aroma with a strange lactic touch. A nice, spicy, sipping tripple.

Date on bottle is Sept 2002. Very cloudy amber orange with a moderate head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is slightly oxidized but has notes of spices, various fruits, caramel, with a hint of funked fruit. Interesting stuff. Medium bodied, alcohol hidden well. Tasty.

Fynske Øldage 2005, Odense. Golden with a nice head. Mouthfeel is oily. Both aroma and flavour is deliciously complex with notes of caramel, fruit, flower, spice. sweetness, alcohol and a nice bitterness. A nice one!!
