500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, foamy white head and very slight spicy herbal aroma. Taste is vanilla and blackberry, herbal, malty, some bitterness plus a lingering warming spicy dry mouth feel and some peaty notes. Herbal rather than hoppy, OK.

0,33cl bottle from Brewdog Slovensko. Aroma is floral, citrus fruits, lemony, grassy. Clear deep golden colour, moderately sized head, quickly disappearing. Taste is honey sweet, spicy, lemony, zesty, lightly tart. Quite nicely balanced considering the different flavours, nothing is overpowering. Finish is lemony, zesty, grassy, medium duration. Few bonus points, because it is not as good as it is interesting. Not many occasions for me to try a traditional ale with almost no hops (no flavour, aroma, or bitterness). This comes in nicely balanced and easily drinkable.

Bottle from Asahiya. A rich honey color with a light carbonation, light head of foam which quickly dissipated. Aroma of malt and fruit, reminiscent of a Belgian Triple. The flavor is fruity at first with the heather floral flavor following in the aftertaste. Very pleasant and possibly a beer which would give you nice breath too!

0.5l bottle shared with The Tastin. This is a light blurry golden one with a small quickly islandy and sidesticking just off-white top. It's quite fruity this one. Nutty-fruity with grass and some clear sourness. Could it be infected? Sour red berries. Kinda "wild" on the aroma. It's about average on the carbonation and light oily to watery on the mouthfeel. The taste; again, a bit "wild". Both sweet and berry-fruity. No bitterness to trace in this at all. Ends with hints of honey and something herbal. Not a bad beer, but I'm not sure I feel the need to try this again. 05.01.2012

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur dorée et voilée. Nez de grains de malt légèrement caramélisé, léger de houblon floral, d’épices et floral (ne provenant pas du houblon) avec des petites notes fruitées sucrées et de miel. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux faibles notes crémeuses.. Goût légèrement floral (notes de lavande) avec des traces épicées (gingembre, coriandre) dès l’entrée en bouche suivi très rapidement de notes fruitées très légèrement sûres (agrumes,traces de pommes et de pêche) ainsi que des notes de grains sucrés et de miel puis en finale, une légère amertume de houblon floral se développe. Post-goût moyen très légèrement amer de houblon floral quelques traces herbeuses.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 11/2013
Aroma is fruity with bready malt and hints of herbs. Flavour has bready malt, herbs, some nettles and hints of gooseberry bush. Some honey notes at the end of the glass. Interesting, better than I expected.
