Bottle: Orangey coloured, unclear with floaties, big "beaten egg-white"-like head, very persistent, distinctive sweet-fruity-zesty (oranges) aroma with hoppy traces; solid fruity-bitter flavour, quite full bodied; sweet zesty finish with a tartness and a good dash of hops in the aftertaste. Good, well balanced and nourishing stuff..........

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a murky brown with a medium off-white head and a thin aroma of cinnamon, yeast, citrus and some ripe fruit. The flavor is medium sweet, but than gets sharp hoppy, not bitter, but sharp. I’m really sorry, but I don’t like it that way. Disappointing brew from t ’IJ

Bottle. Light unclear medium orange amber color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, caramel, moderate hoppy, flowers, lemon shell, moderate to heavy yeasty. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (080108)

Pours a hazy brownish orange with a bunch of floaties and a medium creamy off white head that left lacing. Aroma of green apple, orange peel, woody, hint of funkiness, various fruits, some tropical fruits, cantaloupe, some mixed spices and a malty sweetness. Really liked the aroma on this one. Flavor of tropical fruits, lemon and other citrus, some floral notes, yeast, light spices, some sweetness...yet overall a dry beer. I enjoyed this one. ABV well hidden, tingly carbonation. One to sit down with and spend some time with. Almost too much going on too really sum in a words.

Cloudy orange with a yellow tinted head that doesn’t last long. No lace. Aroma is hay and gooseberries. Sweet palate like barley candy with chamomille, dried apricot, and a reedy/woody element. Surprisingly bitter finish. Alcohol is completely hidden-- there is no way I would guess this at 9%. Not a bad beerwhen you study it, but it somehow fails to equal the sum of its parts. Just not very tasty I guess.

33cl bottle at Gollem, Amsterdam, 12-3-07. Hazy orange with a small white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of cantaloupe. tastes like fresh fruit salad, with hops that add flavor but little bitterness. Sweet, but not in a sugary way. Some yeast and spice compliment. Medium palate with smooth carbonation. Feels very light and refreshing for its strength.
