bottle, thanks SHIG! Pours light gold, tall white head. Fruity aroma almost peachy. Light malt and hoppy flavors. Ends with a lingering spicy hop flavor.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color at first but soon after it started to react and murky up to a light orange brown, with a huge froathy white head. The aroma is citrus and with a sour nose. The taste is a big tart with citrus and metallic malt. I must add that this beer opens up and has a corny taste to it as it warms up.

Bottle. Light unclear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy yeasty, cowshed, light acidic. (Aroma is a bit like a thin or light geueze). Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (151007)

A hazy orange beer with a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of citrus and spices - especially cloves, leading to a dry and very spicy end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Golden, slightly hazy ale. Pretty full-bodied, soft with some fruity notes and only a slight bitterness. Drinkable indeed, but not very refined. 140501
