Dryish spicy honey and herbs aftertaste with mealy notes. Nice, drinkable, full of flavour. (0.33l bottle from the brewery.)

Bottled@HBF2014. Ambery copper colour with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma is medicine, some sweet notes and mild earthiness. Flavour is fruity, some nectary sweetness along with alcohol, sweet malts and some yeasty notes. A bit on the sweet side, but still quite a tasty brew.

Bottled, BB 30 Apr 15, large sample. Hazy golden color, short frothy head, which quickly diminishes. Aroma of diacetyl, mashed apples, slight sourish yoghurt, strawberry, slight spicy. Bit dry taste, bit bitter. Obvious brewing mistakes. Horrible stuff.

Bottle, shared. Deep brown. Lemony, spicy, ugly. High carbonation. Ugly. No no no. Like some really bad medicine. Not a fan of this style but this was way too spicy as well.

2BE. Bieken is een goud-bruin biertje dat een overvloedig wit en inzakkend schuim produceerd. De reuk is sterk moutig met een alcohol toets erbij. De smaak is tamelijk (hop) bitter met wat alcohol en heel in de verte iets zoet geroosterd (van de honing?). De nasmaak is ook wat bitter, zelfs bij momenten wat droog en scherp met ook iets van alcohol of honing. Er zit redelijk wat gist in de fles.

Dark amber, moderate beige head that diminishes to nothing. Caramel-sweet aroma. Prunes and toffee. Taste is smilar, but well balanced with bitterness
