t IJ Columbus

Bottle at yespr’s place. One of those that I was sure I has rated as I knew I has had a bottle. Thanks Jesper. Pours a nice hazy amber-brown colour with a big head. Aroma of toasted malt, fruits and caramel. Good mothfeel. The flavour is sweet with toasted caramel and malt, spices, fruits and some yeast. Nice spiced toasty bitter finish.

Draught at the brewpub.
Pours a orange amber colour with small white head and fresh fruity nose. The aroma is malty, fruity and slight yeasty with notes of alcohol and spices. Some sediment at the bottom. Very good beer for the beginning of my Amsterdam beer hunt.

Bottle @ Beer Circus, Croydon. Pours reddish / brown. Aroma is nutty / citrus / cloves. Taste is spicy / yeasty hops make an appearance as it warms. Some bitterness in the finish.

Red amber hue. Foaming head, malty nose. Medium body with a thick viscosity. Cloves and malt taste. A very good bitter sweet beer.

Draught at brewpub. Yeasty acidic nose. Light citrus. Pretty, clear amber-orange with an impressive head. Flavor is sweet, citrus and caramel. Hops show up as it warms, balancing the sweetness nicely and giving the beer a wonderful finish. Palate is creamy and fullbodied.

bottle @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Hoppy aroma, amber color. hoppier than most Belgians. Belgian yeast flavor mixes well with hop bitterness. Nice offering
