Aroma of fruits, citrus, slightly funky yeast, hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. Nice brew. Bitter? More like a hoppy Belgian Blond with some Saison characteristics.

Bottle at Gainsbar. Pale blond, cloudy. Aroma is ultra grassy, citrus. Kernel like but with a Belgian yeasty injection, really nice.

Bottle, bb 10/17. Clear gold with an inch of white head that never quite disappears. Plenty of gunge is easily left in the bottle. Powerful marmalade aroma with some tropical fruit and toast. Right at the bottom there is funk. The taste starts there and adds damp hay and bretty spices to go with bitter oranges. Slightly sweet with a brooding sour and funky rumble. Finish is dry and really rather bitter. I think many people would be surprised if they ordered a bitter and got this. Assertive and good.

hazy yellow colour, medium sized, not too stable off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits like mango, maybe some pineapple, too, peach, lemony and floral notes as well as hints of sauerkraut; taste is bittersweet with intensive fruitiness like in the aroma, some biscuits and hints of sauerkraut again; very good, easy to dring bitter!

Flesje gedeeld met TomHendriksen. Oranjerood, troebel bier met matig schuim. Aroma is hoppig en fruitig. Dit komt ook in de smaak naar boven. Nasmaak is bitter.

Fles gedronken met Inoven, gekocht met Benzai. Het bier heeft een flinke schuimkraag. Een oranje gele kleur. Een lekker fris bier.
