500ml bottle at the Airbnb. Way over carbonated orange amber pour, gusher, massive white head. Aroma smells more like a farmhouse ale, maybe a malty saison. The carbonation levels would be more in keeping with a saison/farmhouse ale as well. Flavour is the same, lemon zest, black pepper, wheat, grains. Ratings based on a IPA.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy dull yellow, large dense white head. Weak banana and hay aroma. Taste is thin and astringent without the creaminess I expect from a Belgian Wit. Finish is similarly weak and thin.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Lightly unclear yellowish color, small white to off-white head. Smell and taste both are quite weak. Perhaps a distant hint of peach and a bit vegetal but it’s really hard to find even some flavors in there. Weird. [Note: old bottle, 6 months old perhaps]

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! A bit hazy darker orange color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, oranges, green plants, unripe hops. Meh, not very nice.

Due to artificial lighting, arbitrary appearance rating Nice grapey nose, if lightly cheesy and ureum-rich New World hops. Caramel, again rather grapey hops. Finish again a tad cheesy/catty. Light to medium body, lightly sticky. Quite decent hybrid.

Draught Huge, light-greige head, leaving textbook lace over jet-black beer. Roasted, even a tad ashy/smoked; rainwater. Mild roast in the mouth, faint but present sweetness. Has a faint mineral touch their Gose is missing! Medium bodied, very creamy texture. Quite acceptable plain porter.

Draught Good white head over fully hazy, pineapplejuice-coloured beer. Coriander to the detriment of anything else. Coriandersoup. Almost no acidity, no mineral - at least not traceable amidst the infernal weed. Light, slick from the wheat and coriander; This is not a Gose, but a coriander tincture.

Thanks to Beer Baby for bringing this one back recently from the brewery. Best before Dec 2016. Hazy orange with a fluffy white head. The aroma is soft floral and citrus. The flavor is lightly bitter. Not a lot of malt. A bit thin with a some dryness in the finish.
