Sampled from tap at Martinus. Slightly hazy yellow with white head. Sweet malts, grain, lemon, soapy, coriander. Light sweet and mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, milky chalky feel and soft carbonation. Quite a nice and fresh witbier.

Bottle at home. Hazy light amber with off white head. Tea, some caramel, light herbs, some cocoa, dried apricot, light lime, soft flowers, wet grass and paper. Under medium sweet and medium bitter. Under medium bodied with watery feel. Seems more like an English style beer, not really my thing. It’s not a bad beer, but it’s weirdly watery. I liked the other beers from Martinus a lot more.

Tap at the brewpub. Dark clear mahogany with small beige head. Coconut, brown sugar, light figs, chocolate, bit of sweet malts, mint. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied. I don’t know how that coconut aroma got in there but I think it’s pretty good.

Tap at the brewpub. Slight hazy golden with small white head. Light brown bread, dry malts, almonds, apricot, soft grassy hops. Quite malty but in a dry way, some soft fruits and hops but this is absolutely not an IPA. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit dry feel.

From the tap at Martinus. Pours hazy and orange, with limited white foam. Aroma is unconvincing: something sweet, some mandarin maybe. Body is medium with good carbonation. Taste is sweet, though this is supposed to be an IPA. Only some final bitterness, but very limited. Finish is uninteresting, I guess the IBM supercomputer has failed :) Our maybe this is suitable only for Groningers... ;-)

From the tap at Martinus. Pours very dark brown with cappuccino foam. Aroma is obviously smoked, but also has terrain. Body is medium with limited stickiness. Taste starts with some sweetness and ends with a hint of bitterness. Finish is relatively long and pleasant. A great smoked beer!
