Clear amber colour with fluffy head. Nice toasted malt taste. Good balance of bitter and sweet but in general very basic and certainly worse than cheaper alternatives like De Koninck or Palm for example.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Really awful medicinal taste. Seems like clove. Terrible.

Slightly cloudy yellow pour with a small white head. Aromas are malt, yeast, orange, other citrus and then some marmelade. Taste is malt, orange, coriander, some yeast. Not bad for an AF and close to a full fat wit.

Small white head over clear golden beer, finely carbonated. Rather sweet nose, white sugar, pale malts. Further rather neutral, demure aroma. Warming up the nose gets a tad spicy. I've searched the ingredients list after the first sip. If there's no coriander in here, then something tastes exactly the same. (Fake) citruspeel, spicy. Deceptively light body, bit slick, well-carbonated. Beuh. As if sugared water were fermented with yeast, and a bag coriander was inserted, I guess you could get this. Txs to Stef!

Slow gushing to thick yellowish-white head, stable, over faintly veiled golden beer. Green leaves, bit grassy, a strange hint of something alcohol-like and finishing on aromatic C-hops. Mild sweetish malts, hay, dry grasses, ever so slight caramel. Hops are very much in retreat, even compared to the nose, but the malt tastes fresh, and in the aftertaste I finally got some almost bitterish fruitflavours. Slick, medium bodied. In the end only medium carbonation. This one is not bad at all. Glad to see 't IJ correcting some recent slip ups. Txs to Stef!
