Hazy light brown, big beige head. Light fruit, light sourness, and yeasty wheat. Lively carb, good mouth feel. The tarness is quite nice, with subtle fruit and a light bready maltiness. Nice stuff!

Tap at Boreft Bier Festival 2010, Bodegraven. Hazy orange coloured brew, with an hoppydry taste. An good beerstyle blend IPA meets Kölsch.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy yellow Wieß-style Kölsch brew with an American hoppy start that will replaced with an fruity bitter taste. Nice there are some innovation with Kölsch style.

Tap. Unclear brown color with off-white head. Aroma is big fudge, raisins, vineous. Taste is raisins, fudge, toffee, port body somehow, sweetish finish. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not bad actually, but could take a tad bitterness. I like the character though.
