One of our ‘terroir’ beers, brewed with Gentian roots, traditionally used for a local liqueur, added at the very end of the boil. The aromas are peppery, earthy and floral. The mouthfeel is firstly of honey flavors then earthy, peppery and yellow fruits. The finish is delicate and long lasting.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear orange body under a nice off-white head. Interesting, rather spicy aroma, malt, herbs, spices, licorice and pepper. Taste is sweet malt with the same spicy, herbs and slightly fruity taste. Medium body and pleasant aftertaste. Fun, different and a bit challenging but all over I like it.

Eine Kreation, die man mögen muss. Es ist auf jeden Fall sehr speziell und nicht so leicht zu bekommen, wie mir die Wirtin mitteilte. Es hat wirklich einen deutlichen Geschmack nach der mitverbrauten Enzianwurzel vor einem malzigen Hintergrund. Allerdings kommt auch so ein komischer Ton nach Kren und Kartoffel dazu, der mir nicht behagt. Wer gerne Enzianschnaps oder Gin oder rohes Knollen-Gemüse mag, kann zugreifen. Mir ist es zu abstrus.

Jan. 17. A 0.33 l bottle at Regina del Formaggio, Split. It poured a hazy darker golden to amber body with a small head. Fine but weaker arom, fruity, yeasty, lightly herbal - a nice Belgian touch. Flavor was very lightly on the sweeter side, lightly herbal and floral with some gentian that indeed gives a note of "entian" things my granma uses. Not bitter though, just spicy. Otherwise quite a typical belgian ale, well balanced, medium bodied with moderately long tasty finish.

Bottled 330ml. -Darker golden coloured, small white head, mild flowery/vegetables nose. Sweetish malty, light vegetables, mild spicy hoppy and probably notes of gentian with dry spicy bitterish finish. Odd but not bad.

Semmi hab, bronzba hajló narancs szín. Fűszeres, gyógynövényes illat. Fűszeres, gyógynövényes, gabonás ízvilág. Közepesen testes, alig szénsavas, szinte egyáltalán nem keserű. Kellemesen, visszafogottan fűszerezett sör.
