2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Yet another beer not on the menu but brought to me by the owner/landlord of the excellent Cafe De Grendelpoort, Valkenburg in Holland.
22 Oct 2012 and I asked if he had anything amber he wasn’t showing in the beer menu: a 33cl bottle of this came my way.
To be honest I found it a bit boring from start to finish and went back to the on-tap Ayinger Celebrator straight away afterwards.
Clean amber pour, with a small white head.
Malts just about rule the nose and palate: broken down I found biscuity, bready and yeasty notes in both the aroma and taste but nothing strong enough to excite my senses.
This is almost bland: of course having it inbetween something as tasty as the Ayinger Celebrator can’t have helped the brew a great deal.

Bottle from Berts Bierhuis. Amber colour, huge off-white head. Nose is caramel malts, yeasty, bit of fruits. Flavour is caramel malts, fruity, bit buttery, bit of fruits. Meh.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Duidelijk Texels bier in die zin dat het, zeker qua aroma, lijkt op de Skuumkoppe en Goudkoppe. Amberkleurig, troebel bier met kleine gistvlokken. Snel inzakkende schuimkraag. Frisse doordrinker, gebalanceerd van smaak maar zonder karakter. Kruidig aroma.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
aroma is very blend in nose, some soft malts not much more... mouth is better, some malts, citrus, sugar/honey/caramel? some, spices, and murky malts... too sweet, not that good, but quite drinkable
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at home. Hazy copper pour, thin white head. Aroma is slightly spicy, somewhat malty, some licorice and slightly metallic. Flavor is bitter, dry, malty, spicy and overall quite subtle. Well balanced and a decent body, but lacking character.
