UPDATED: OCT 31, 2005 On tap at the brewry. Very herbal aroma. Light brown color, beige head, good lace. Very light sweet, malty, pretty bitter and herbal hops, hint of molasses, dry finish. Belgian Ale? More like a mix between a Alt and a Bitter Ale.

Had this one on tap in Het Melkwoud in Haarlem. Bit of a bland beer. Not too exciting.

Always like these amber beers. It was sweetish the first sit, but had an interesting bitter evolution.

Hazy amber coloured. Malty aroma. Malty and sweet flavour with some yeast. Bit bitter palate. Easy to drink.

I shared this with Jacob Lövenlund - so my bottle also said Texels Fuurtoren Amber. It is a hazy amber beer with a white head. The aroma is of grass and hops. The flavor is malty with notes of gras and hops on a sweet background. The end is very dry hoppy with a light bitterness.

Bottled (CK). Hazy dark orange color, good creamy beige head. Fruity hoppy nose (caramel, mango) with notes of yeast and iron. Pale malty, caramelly background. Fruity hoppy bitterness, especially in the finish and aftertaste. Overall sweetish. Harmless, balanced , ok session beer.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 31 July 2010) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of toasty grain and orange. Malty, fruity taste with orange, caramel and a slightly spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. No surprises here, but well balanced and tasty.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2004 Malty aroma with prune. Sweetish, yeasty taste with chocolate and prune. New label: maybe new recipe: Licorice and pepper aroma. Sweetish, malty flavor with hops, pepper and some licorice. Too sweet to be really good, but not bad at all.
