3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[ZBF 2004] A hazy orange beer with a fine dense white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of corriander. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices I can't recognize, but also lime and appricot. A very fresh beer - I believe this should be drunk in the warm summer sun - and not at an indoor festival in March.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, pale golden - this actually looks mostly like a Belgian Wit - with a white head. Fresh and lightly citrusy nose. Medium body with fairly tart citrus notes and a dry and lightly astringent grapefruitish finish. Sort of an Imperial Wit? 080707
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From 33 cL bottle. Pours pale and hazy yellow with almost no head. Aroma is mild malty and vaguely citric fruity. Light creamy mouthfeel. Slight citric and floral flavour. Very mildly spiced, dry and slight hoppy. I didn’t really sense much elderflowers (some chili spiced food may be the reason for this...). Decent brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is bigtime yeast as well as some sourness. Flavour is lovely yeasty along with grass, malts, some sour fruits and a bit of hay. Totally sourish and dry.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, ZBF08. Refreshing aroma, slightly acidic. Clear golden colour, small white head. The flavour is also acidic, like a mix of geuze and blond ale. Some yeast. Not bad.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy golden color. Woody sour aroma. Simpler than expected, with a light sourness. Refreshing.
