Bottle, 8%. Caramelly, spicy and malty aroma. Flowery hop aroma. Hazy golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is fruity with a flowery hop note. Sweetish and mellow.

Bottle. Pours hazy straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast, fruit and barrel. Sweet flavour of malt, fruit and flowers, with touches of yeast and notes of hops and spice. Bitter and floral aftertaste with estery and malty touches. Decent.

33cl bottle: BB 15th July 2024, drank at home on 28th October 2022. Golden body, slight haze, white head. Sweet and malty, with yeasty and herbal traces, didn't get any oak or woody notes. It's OK, but didn't blow me away.

Fles gekregen van Inoven, geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een licht troebel goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van eik en mout. De smaak is vol moutig, zacht zoet en wat houtig in de afdronk.

Flesje thuis gedronken. Goudgeel licht troebel bier, flink schuimend tijdens inschenken. Aroma is moutig en fruitig. Smaak is zoet en hoppig. Nasmaak is iets bitter. Ik vind het oak aged niet terug in de geur of smaak.

Smell-medium strong, malt, Belgian yeast, spice, hops, citrus. Foam- thin, malt, caramel, weak acidic tones, weak sourness or saltiness, Belgian notes. Head is medium-sized, white in color. Appearance - beer-specific bottle cap, somewhat simple label, beer series.Clear orange-amber color, some active carbonation. From - snifter Taste- citrus, malt, caramel, sweetness, Belgian notes, sugar. Sugar kind of even dominates it, its mixed with malt, Belgian notes and hops. I do like sweet beers, but this feels fairly unbalanced, and rather than fermented sugar feels like someone just mixed in some sugar right before pouring it in glass. Odd...

33cl bottle. A minimal hazy golden beer with a white head. Aroma of sweet and strong pale malt, banana and yeast. Taste of sweet banana, strong wheat malt, hints of vanilla, slightly boozy.

Dark blond colour with thin head. Aroma has a lot of clove. Flavour too. Some dusty yeast notes to boot. Too sweet. Coriander and clove dominate.
