33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Clear dark-amber colour, frothy beige head. Aroma of nuts, toast, caramel, tart wheat, coriander. Flavour is dry, watery, tart, nutty, caramel, light spicy, tart/bitter watery finish with some grainy edges. Light-bodied. Not very enjoyable imo.

Good, fluffy, dirty-cream head, fed by fine, lively carbonation in fully hazy orange-amber beer. Coriander, herbs (green, if dried) orangepeel, orangeblossomsyrup. Sweet, again orangey in character, even if the coriander is unmistakable, making it a tad soupy. Mineral, but NOT salty. Very slick, spritzy; maybe medium bodied but certainly not empty. The coriander is more than a tad too dominating - certainly more than the applewood version, IMHO. Still drinkable, thanks to the darker malts. Danke, Sebastian!

33 cl bottle @ lusikka, BBE 01/2014 Aroma is stale and floury with apples, urine and yeasty notes. Flavour is tart with urinal cake, citrus, some green apples and earthy notes. Nice, could be a sour ale as well. Feels rather salty at the end of the glass – and I had only one third of the bottle.

Bottle thanks to Joes. Opaque dark orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, a slight sourness, some herbs or spices. Low to medium body and carbonation. A bit weird imo.

330ml bottle. Hazy pinkish amber colour with average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, lasting, lacing, off-white head. Cautious fruity aroma has dry notes of apple and pear, a touch of wood. Taste is moderately sourish, salty, mineral, notes of paper, chalk, wood; in the finish comes up a red apple note with some subtle sweetness. Slightly watery in between, else a nicely balanced dry and tart beer.
