Thuis uit een flesje. Mooie diep oranje kleur, troebel. Beige schuim. Goed aroma, goede smaak, niet te hoppig, prima.

0.33 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Maastricht) as 'Christoffel W-IPA', best before August 2019. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, quite fruity, moderately grassy and slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of melon, pear, banana and orange peel. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, fruity-grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy taste of banana, orange, pear, some honey and traces of clove, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite grassy and slightly yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very pleasant, well-balanced and easily drinkable, more like a hoppy Weizen instead of an IPA.

Bottle from Monster Magnet. One of the Protz 300 ticks I was after. Big thanks. Sweet floral aroma, some citrus. A lot of hay. Medium gold. Foamy white head. Initial muted sweetness before a medium bitterness kicks in and on through to the finish. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Some character to it, some bite. Not giving me any saintly euphoria but would happily drink again.

Bottle from the Netherlands, courtesy of Patrick. Pours hazy golden orange with a lasting white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit, alcohol, yeast and hop with light herbal and spruce notes. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Finish is of bitter orange. Good for the style.

From Dec 2006
Poured from 11.2 oz swing top bottle(A and 06 were dotted on the label) a cloudy reddish gold with a large head of foam that subsided quickly leaving a fine layer and some lacing.
The smell is very sweet malt nose..smells buttery.
The taste up front is big on the caramel sweetness followed by some hop bitterness midway through and through the finish. Not bad at all and actually, the more I sip, the better I like it.
Try it and see what you think.
Bottom line: A pretty malty sample of the style and if you like malty lagers, this one will surely please you.
