(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 2 Feb 2007) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with huge off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, orange, Seville orange and lots of spicy, flowery hops. Fruity taste with a nutty backbone (walnut?), notes of dried apricots, grapefruit and loads of spicy hops in the finish. Quite complex brew with a lovely spicy, hop character. Very nice!

Fruity nose with distinct citrussy notes of orange, Seville orange and citrus peel. Fruity, spicy taste with apricots, orange, Seville orange and a fresh, spicy finish.

Draught at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden, minimal head. Yeasty grassy nose. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Dryish with some citrus and the evident yeasty ’t IJ house character. Still it’s balanced and suprisingly drinkable for it’s size. An invidualtistic, very likable beer.

Bottled. Hazy nutbrownish orange colour with a huge white creamy head, leaves good lace. Strong citrusfruit and wheat in nose. Slight alcoholic sweetness as well as sugary notes there too. Flavour is wheat, yeast, barley, malts and fruit. Sweet perfumic flavour in finish. Aftertaste is caramel, yeast, and some bittering hops. Totally crazy witbier, in a good way! Palate would be excellent, but gets slightly ruined by a quite sharp carbonation.
