Bottle conditioned. Copper bronze with good head retention and good condition. Corriander, orange and hop resin aromas, sweet and spicy flavours with a slight soapiness from the yeast. Fruity and spicy in the finish.

hopbel (5) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 6, 2013 does not count
Fles. Fijn schuim. Robijnrode kleur. Ruikt naar alcohol en gist. Vol mondgevoel richting het cremige. Caramel en hazelnotenschilletjes. Lijkt op bitterheid van een orval (zal de hop zijn) maar mist de complexiteit. Lekker biertje geen toppertje.

Chestnut coloured beer with a small to medium white head. Sweet fruity soft honey smell. Sweet soft citrus hints of honey medium bitter and dry aftertaste. Some difficult to place tastes, milkshake like.

The head is robust, the body dark brown-red. It smells fruity-bitter-plum. The taste is alcoholic-bitter and a bit unbalanced. In the aftertaste it is alcoholic bitter and a bit dusty. 11/11/10/10/-/10
