(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a big fluffy white foam. Yeasty, slightly sweet and wheaty malty aroma with notes of citrus, ginger and delicate spices. Moderately bitter flavour with a balancing malty sweetness, full bodied with a lively carbonation. Yeasty malty and slightly citric taste with a tinge of ginger spice; dry-ish bitter sweet, slightly fruity and moderately spicy finish. Quite rounded, but not very complex brew. 01.XI.09

Pours bright gold into a tulip. Fluffy white head recedes to hug rim. Dusty peach aromas. Sweet caramel upfront with a dry, lasting pit fruit finish.

330ml bottle picked up at BSF, GBBF in August 08 to be enjoyed back home in Tromsø. Pours a huge rocky, white head partly lasting on top of a clear, golden body. Cloudy last pour, though. Smell of late oranges and sweet figs. Sweet, dried fruits in flavour supported by pale malts and herbs. Beneath there are discreet hints of elderflowers and ginger. More ginger on the swallow. Medium to full bodied. Dry in the mouth (11.10.2008).

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy gold, thin off white head. Very herby aroma. It’s a herby floral beer, with a decent backbone. But still it’s just not my typre of beer. Yes, the variety of Belgian beers is great. But some just don’t work. Just too herby and floral for me.

Bottle, courtesy of thewolf. A nice-looking beer with an almost clear body, golden color and a white head. Ginger, sweetness and some malt in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and gingery with pale malt and a touch of other spices. Quite dusty, effervescent, sweetish and full-bodied mouthfeel. Sweet, fruity, malty finish with a good dash of ginger. A nice beer, but I think I would prefer it without the ginger. (080301)

750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions. The aroma is primarily ginger. Might be some yeast spice and malt. Hard to tell. Hazy orange gold color with a white head that left fast. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor starts with ginger, light malt, and spice notes. Light stone fruit makes a background. Finish is slightly sweet, but the ginger holds back the effect. A very rich version of Blandford Fly! Try this with sushi.
