Bottle shared by me at Clocking New Year. Pours orange gold with white head. Nose and taste of orange cream, herbal fruitiness, florals and light cardboard malt. Medium body. Not bad for its age.

Draught - served very cold VERY hazy amber, with some greenish-ochre highlights; small but good stable yellow-amber head. Nose:???? A smell I associate with "Gelderse Rookworst" , a kind of smoked sausage I eat with young silver onions on vinegar. I’m sure there’s SOME (albeit little) acetic acid in this (Dany’s going to do an infarctus!). Indeed, quite sourish taste, metallic (like touching two metals with the tongue, releasing Galvanic current), spicey, yeasty. Finish is bitter, touch woody. Not very big-bodied. I’m surprised having tasted former Santé beers. I’ve been told by the people of HBL, commissioners of the beer, that the beer was much better at its release, and I believe them. Something went awry since.
