Can. Almost clear golden body with a big, long lasting off-white head. Aroma is quite light with pale malt and some citric fruit. Flavor is refreshing light fruity with medium sweet, soft pale malt. Medium bitterness that actually feels more bitter towards the aftertaste. Medium body. No big deal really, but quite a pleasant, light tasting, refreshing , kind of session beer. Fair enough.

Can. When I had this beer I had no idea Mikkeller was involved with it. It was a very juicy, tasty fruity beer.

Can. The most disgusting label I've er seen on a beer . The beer, however, is really good. Roasted grains and tasty.

Pour is a black with a large mocha tan head. Aroma is a very minor roasted malt. Flavor is again a very minor roasted malt with a little sourness on the back end. I don't know where this brewer was going for here. Very minor roasted malt and the sourness lets me know this may even be a bit infected.

Pours dark brown with a very large, dense, light tan head. It smells of toasted caramel malt and nuts. The malty flavor is on the sweet side with more caramel and nuts. There's some mild bitterness that balances it well. Medium bodied, this is a solid brown ale with the most disgusting art I've seen on a beer can.
Are they suggesting that this beer will give you terrible diarrhea or that this beer IS the terrible diarrhea? It's something to ponder.

From tap at the BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is grainy malt and a touch of apples. Flavour is moderate to medium bitter. Body is light. Not too impressed with this one, very light and watery, where is the yeast?

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Citrussy aroma with grassy hops, some bready grainy malt, then more citrus. Some peachy notes as well. Flavour is an easy medium bitterness. Body is medium. Refreshing APA.
