Bottle: Poured a brown with a tan color head. Aroma is leafy with spices (mint, cloves) and some light fruit/orange peel. Taste is sweet, there is a spice hint mainly ginger and leafs.

Bottle picked up by Barry Reynolds and consumed on a narrowboat gliding serenly down the Oxford canal in Jericho, Oxford 06-09-08 Some perfume on nose also lime and cold tea, actually it Liptons Iced Tea and the colour is not too disimilar pours light amber with white head. Tastes a little bitter at first more of a bitter bite than I’m used to with a Belgian beer but then the Liptons Iced Tea comes back. Its really not bad, quite interesting.

330 ml stubby bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 5.7%. I admit I had never heard of manuka before I got this beer! Clear amber colour, huge off-white head with an orangey hue. Moderate aroma of malts and spice, and something undefined which I suppose is the manuka leaves. The flavour has moderate malts and some caramel and undefined spice, with a noticeable bitterness in the finish, which might or might not be caused by manuka leaves, in addition to the hops? Definitely drinkable, but not particularly exciting.

330ml bottle (from BBF, Oslo). Big creamy, off-white head slowly fading over a dark amber body. Hazy second pour. Fragile laceworks on the glass. Aroma of sweet honeyed malt. Flavour of spicy green tea, dried fruits and herbs. Touch of yeast to the ending. Medium bodied. A rather refreshing and health-giving summer drink (Tromsø, 23.07.2008).

Bottle at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. It pours a slightly hazy golden body under a minimal off-white head. Spices, pale malt and hops in the aroma, quite nice. The flavor has spices, malt, some bitterness, as well as a little sweetness and fruityness, and a hint of herbs. Hoppy, bitter finish, but in a moderate way. Nice and refreshing, probably a nice summer beer. Rating: 7-3-7-4-14-3.5 (080410)

Bottle, 33cl. It’s hazy in the glass, with some micro-floaties, and topped by a creamy, finger-thick off-white head. Herbs, pale malts, some perfume notes, a little caramel, tea and a hint of alcohol in the aroma. The flavor is sweet, yet dry, herbal, bitter and with a trace of alcohol. Effervescent, dry and warming in the mouth. Bitter, herbal finish. A quite nice one, with an unusual herbal touch. (090522)

330 ml bottle. A bit cloudy, reddish golden body with a big off-white head. Mild aroma of malt, spices and fruit. Flavor is malty and fruity with some rather unusually spicy flavors. Interesting, well balanced and really refreshing. (for sure the best manuka beer I have ever tasted :-) )

Hazy amber with medium head. Sweet fruity aroma yeasty notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel, yeasty and hoppy notes.

33cl bottle. Pours hazy amber/orange with a fully lasting white head. Dusty, yeasty, spicy aroma. Taste is very sweet & sticky - herbal nearly smokey - the manuka perhaps. Not bad overall - but not terribly interesting taste.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off white head. Orange/citrus fruity and light yeasty aroma. Flavour citgric and sweet with a light yeasty mellow note. Ends light citrus fruity and fresh. Belgian kinda radler :), but a nice one.
