Slightly pink-accented copper colour. Strong aroma of raspberry syrup. Flavour of boring beer with raspberry syrup added. This disappoints but does not surprise me.

Light cloudy beige colour. Very fluffy head. Sweaty aroma with light banana and clove undertones. Sweetish fare, with a bit of wheaty acidity in the finish and mere hints of banana. An exercise in restraint, which a hefe need not be.

Golden brown colour. No head. Bubblegum, peanut skins and the faint hint of nail polish remover in the aroma. Candyish, alcohol, very simple flavour profile. No particular yeast influence detected beyond a little hint of bubblegum. Boring as hell, not remotely Belgian, and nothing close to what I want in a beer.

This did not live up to its hype. The dirt brown brew had no head, but gave off strong cascade notes. The body was slightly sour, but hops presence is definitely felt. The finish is mildly bitter, but the beer lack depth to become great in my opinion.

Slight honeyish malt nose. Hazy golden, creamy head. Bisquit notes - well rounded. slight nutty aftertaste hides lightness well without hop overdose.

Real Ale Aromahop nose. Amber color with lace clinging to the glas. A almost perfect composition, a smooth mix of flavors with hop finish of tingling bitternes and aroma hops when you exhale.
