(Bottle) Hazy golden amber with good off-white head. Wonderful aroma full of fruit - peaches and orangey citrus - and sweetness. Well carbonated (a bit too carbonated when pouring) with medium body giving a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. Taste starts fruity and sweetish then the rye malt flavours come through before a very good hop filled bitter finish. I nice richer IPA.

Bottle, 7C. Hazy orange, big clumps, white head fizzes away in short order. Aroma of wheat, oranges, coriander, passionfruit, booze. Quite carbonated. Sweet oranges, wheaty, light sugars, subdued spices, hints of tropical fruit. Tripelish bitterness lingers. Pleasant enough, but I’m not sure I really get the point of it.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours an opaque dark brown with only a vague tint of orange, oddly fizzy and dissipating brown head. Thick, thick almost tarry coffee aroma. Medium body, heavy - almost vulgar - carbonation, the kids that keeps on bubbling all the way down your throat. Heavy, charry coffee accents - kinda like burned coffee. A little vanilla before a very malt bitter finish. A really tough beer to drink. 301112

Bottle. Cloudy light amber with a large white head that sticks around. Heaps of rye bread in the aroma with confronting tropical notes - lychee, passionfruit and custard apple. Taste is bready and sharply peppery with a fair whack of bitterness. Light-bodied. Very dry and peppery finish. The fruit aromas are not enticing and then mostly go missing in the mouth. Quite interesting but didn’t much care for it.

Pours hazy amber with a growing head.Nose shows doughy and fruity (almost cider-like, not hop-like) notes from the yeast and also some wheat. Not particularly interesting or enticing.Flavour aren’t much of an improvement, although the rye certainly becomes apparent as a bold spicy character. The fruity cidery notes remain, not particularly pleasant, and it finishes slightly metallic with very little malt to smooth things out.Excessively carbonated.Starting to lose faith with this brewery, every now and again you get a great bottle, but it’s anything but consistent.
