Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a slightly hazy copper colour with a thin soapy looking off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrusy orange, with hints of spices and tobacco. Taste has more of the caramel and citrus notes and a touch more spice. Sweet tang on the finish. Thin to medium body with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel.Nothing special but not bad considering the low abv for a Belgian brew.

Malt and prunes in the aroma. Sweetish, malty taste with metal and licorice. Thinnish. Herbal, bitter finish. Unmemorable, but nice aroma.

Flesje thuis gedronken. Oranje tot amberkleurig bier, heftig schuimend tijdens inschenken. Geur en smaak is erg kruidig, (koreander), naar mijn mening hoort dit bij bier vandaar de lage beoordeling.

Fles gekregen van Inoven, thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een helder bruin bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een wat zoete geur. De smaak is zoet, fruitig, metaalachtig.
