Bottled. Hazy orange brown color, huge white head. Loads of carbonation. Aroma is spicy, ginger, fruity of orange, mandarin, distinct spice. Clean watery taste, hint of caramel, orange. Ends with a dusty spicy aftertaste, bit dry. Strange but nice brew.

[i] [b] Bottle picked up at Dranken Geers, Gent, Belgium. Had this 13-03-08 [/i] [/b] Pours a hazy amber colour, darkish amber maybe with the odd yeast floaty in there. I get some bubblegum on the nose Loz said rotting vegetation? How we can differ so much I don’t know but I sort of know where she’s coming from, we both settle on there being a mustiness to this which isn’t unpleasant. I also get some ginger or galangal in the mouth but it’s weakish and more than balanced out by sweet malts and molasseses. I quite like this, but it’s quite difficult to catergorise.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy to murky orange/brown with a lacing white head. Caramel malt and light spiced aroma. Flavour starts sweet with a light toffee like caramel flavour. Subdued spice note too. Light butterish feel and flavour, not distinct diacetyl as such. Ends nice and smooth with a mix of toffee and spice.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy red with a lacing light pink head. Aroma is berry fruity and sweet. Flavour strawberry, quite sweet and straight forward. Finish holds a light dry sulphorish note but is dominantly more of the same sweet strawberry flavour.
