Our bokbier for Easter; soft and slightly spicy taste, thereby producing a fine flavour. The flavour and aromas give a nicely balanced mix of fruit, coriander, yeast and hops. An enjoyable combination in which the bitter element gets an additional boost from the lightly roasted malt. The aftertaste is slightly sparkling, with a long-lasting, fresh, sweet flavour. An excellent beer for celebrating the arrival of spring!

33cl bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Hazy golden amber, heavily carbonated with a billowing cream head; aroma of green fruit - apples, pears and grapes, and yeast; very tart flavour as if the hops are underripe, with some yeastiness and malts coming through. The alcohol is well masked, but gives a warming finish. Interesting, but not something I’d drink regularly.

Nice deep orange/amber coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Fresh and hoppy aroma of sour grapes and nice potent malt. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong perfumey taste with malt and some light spices coming out. Aftertaste shows malt, a lot of spice and a good grassy quality. Overall, a nice beer - definitely worth trying...good to try, and a nice full-bodied beer! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from BioMarkt in Amsterdam, Holland on 27-December-2007, sampled at home on 19-January-2009 in Washington.

Many taps & bottles. This beer tastes a bit different every year. Cloudy golden amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of IJ yeast, sourness, acid, fruit. Flavour is sweet, very spicy, yeast, malts and a bit sour, but mostly bitter with a bittersweet finish. Full bodied. I love it.
