(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown with a decent head. Starts very dry, but sweetens up slightly. Sourish cherry character - almost lambic-sourness, which of course it isn’t. Not the greatest Kriek. 140601

(Bottle 33 cl) Very unclear orange beer with a frothy head helped by an almost aggressive carbonation. Has both candy sugar and spices added - hard to determine which though. In spite of the sugar this is pretty dry with some fruity freshness from the nose and throughout. Almost Tripelish. 080601

Bottled (BB 01/2005)
Dark orange, good creamy off-white head. Nose has sweet berries: strawberry, cherries, some sourness to balance. Quite light malt profile. Hops and alcohol dominate. Yeast gives some sourness. Aftertaste is mostly alcoholic. Quite empty brew. (7/4/6/2/12 3.1). Re-rated, bottled Sep 2005. (5/3/6/2/11 2.7)

(Bottle 33 cl) Unclear, pale honey coloured with an almost whisky like aroma. But the hops overpowers everything else - this is really a bitter beer, too bitter for it’s rather light body. 110798

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown - almost black - beer with lots of candied sugar although it doesn’t make this overly sweet. Small but fairly stable head. Honey and spices are added - some cardamom perhaps?? Very roasted maltiness and notes of dried fruits - dates and figs perhaps to go with the season? 230198

(Bottle 33 cl) The name of this beer might hint at a honey-beer, but that is very far from the truth. Very dark brown beer with a nice, full brownish head with an excellent retention. Spiced but with what isn’t clearly detectable - apart from the candied sugars. Some dried fruits. But the flavours unfold slowly all the way through this beers as it warms up. simply gets better and better. A sublime experience. 170697

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden, with a tall, lasting head. A tripel-like dry hoppiness on a sweet, malty background. Yeasty, spicy notes with a surprisingly low amount of sediment. 210296

A hazy orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is very light, what is there is spicy with coriander being most dominant. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and caramel, leading to a dry end.

An unclear light yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is very spicy with coriander and oranges standing out. The flavor is very sweet and very spicy, while the mouthfeel is sticky.
