Bottled@AIH40 (from biernavigator). Orange colour, mediumsized white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is catpissy, mild sour wooden notes as well as very citrusy. Flavour is fruity, floral, mildly tart wooden notes as well as some slight maltiness to it. The bitterness makes it feel quite dry as for the palate. A bit thin in the end, but the elements for a really good beer are there.

Bottle @ home. Slightly unclear orange color, medium to full sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is light to moderately hoppy, lightly malty, lightly overripe fruit and strangely enough also a hint of caramel and biscuit. Taste lightly malts, hops, overripe fruits again a slight touch of citrus and bitter. Hmm a bit weird. I don’t really like this one but I have a hard time explaining why. Just not very crisp and refreshing, although it might ’just’ be an old bottle.

Bottle. Golden, white head. Aroma is faint, slitghtly hoppy. Bitter taste of fruity hops, with a malty touch of biscuit. Creamy mouthfeel. Bit thin body. Easy beer, a bit too easy perhaps.

Slight hazy light amber with fast disappearing white head. Some light sediment floating around. Dry grains with some nuts, lots of fruity hops with orange, tangerine, apricot and quite some pine. Light sweet with dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Ok

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Slightly hazy golden amber colour, white head. Aroma of pine, grass, weed, sweat, nettle. Not my favourite hop-combo. Flavour is light crisp malts, light sweet, grass, pine, resin, spruce, weed, dry bitter finish. Light-bodied. I would have liked it to be more fruity. Nice though.

Bottle from the Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is nettle resin hop, light citrus. The flavour is medium bitter with a crisp grassy hop, slightly woody palate and a lingering grass bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. I nice beer that seemed to improve with a little air.
