Cloudy amber with a persistent 2cm head. Caramel and banana, some earthy / grassy tones on the nose. Strong carbonation. Sweet. Well rounded. Citrus, caramel, hoppy up front. Tart carbonation in the mid range, fading to caramel / Kandi sugar. Lingering hoppy bitterness. A bit confusing this one. The parts don't quite fit together but a good one nonetheless.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is citrussy hop with notes of malt, grass and orange. Flavour is moderate bitter and lightly sweetish. Medium body. Decent but with seven hops used you'd expect a bit more complex aroma.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with huge, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Relatively weak, floral and fruity hoppy as well as minimally yeasty fruity aroma, pale malty background, a touch of grapes, melon, lychee, strawberry. Taste is sweet-ish, pale malty, slightly yeasty spicy, minimally doughy yeasty and slightly bitter, fruity hoppy, hints of melon, lychee, a touhc of strawberry; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, foamy, prickly carbonation.
A tad unbalanced, sugary - not really convincing.

Fat, fine, 3cm head on this one. Golden yellow, cloudy. Pine, resin, aromas, some pear drop on the side. Citrus, orange cordial. Sweet orange lemonade taste. Prickling carbonation. Full bodied and lingering taste bomb. Had to go to the label to check if there were some added orange flavor sources (there aren't). Impressive in total.

Flesje thuis gedronken.
Roodbruin bier met matig schuim.
Aroma is fruitig.
Smaak van braam, framboos.
Nasmaak is fruitig maar wel plakkerig in de mond.
