Bottle, 75cl corked. An unclear yellow-golden beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is fruity and citrusy, with a touch of spices. Some sourish hints too, doubt that’s intended. It’s medium bodied and effervescent in the mouth, dry, with flavors of lemon peel, generic fruityness and some spicyness. A decent one, but not a favorite in any way. 120218

Cloudy yellow beer, solid aery white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: yeast, citrus, some exotic fruits, pretty sour, hops. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: very cheesy, citrus, some malts, more citrus, yeast. Aftertaste: sour and yeast, not really good.

"Fiery" as in gushing to mounds of white head over hazed orange-yellow beer. Citrussy, and absolutely Brett or Pedio-like aromas. Lemoncookies. On purpose or infected? Bitterish, bit like citrusmould; again barnyard-like flavours, but with a spiced, bitterish streak, the acidity remaining in the background. There’s signs aplenty of Pedio/Brett infection. Rather light body and of course very carbonated, fizzy. DijkWaert has absolutely to clean their act - and their beer. Another gusher, another infected brew. Yet, I get the impression they have good ideas. Just a bit more care, please.

Very good, dense, faintly amberish tinted head over well-carbonated foxy amber bere, cloudy and riddled with volcanicaly erupting, upwelling utterly ugly UFO’s. Wave of wild fruit in the nose - and a touch of Brett?!? Rhubarb, bit of caramelmalts, but not suggesting sweetness. Again wild fruit and agàin an impression of Bretts - halfway between the lambic and the floormop variety. Ends on some faint caramel, and some vague fruity esters. Spices are there, but not overwhelming. Warming up, some strange aromatics, reminding me of aftershave, whilst the Brett impression fades away. Well carbonated, seriously alleviating the slickness & body. And now for the $ 10,000.- question - where are the cherries? Or put differently: how much were actually added? Maybe as many as the masking spices? And (UUUU) where the hell do they get that gruesome looking yeast?

Huge, ultradense yellow-beige head, persistent over deep red-brown beer, very carbonated. Warm aromas, some complexity, partly woody, partly roasted sugar & caramel. Little or no coffee in the nose. Dry coffee - absolutely no specialist, but somehow I think more of Nescafé than of Maragogype. Or maybe even more to the point: café Liègeois. Lightly bitterish, maltsugars underneath. Warming up, some peppery feel/taste arrives. Medium to well-bodied, quite slick, creamy MF despite the high level of carbonation. I’ve had stouts that were way more coffeeish without bearing the flag, but OTOH, this represented by far the most balanced of all DijkWaert beers, tried so far.

Gushing to fully hazed, brownish orangey beer with collection of particulary nasty UFO’s. Towering dirty yellowish head, fed by very lively, constant carbonation. Herbal, fresh-hoppy nose, tad grassy, actually quite fresh & inviting. Bit of yeasty-bready too, inevitably. Bitterish, like chicory or Ersatz-coffee, with a bready-malty underbuild. Yeasty esters, but still some resemblance of balance. Toasted malts and after some time, bitterish herbs. Obviously very lively, spritzy carbonation. Medium bodied. "Vuur" might well be explained by the fountain of erupting foam; but as to "Goud" - somebody is using a different colourkey than I do. Again... homebrew aspects.

Onctuous creamlike, cream-colooured head, over ruby tinted foxy-brown beer. Caramel, toffee, toasted malts and sweet alcohol; faint cigarette smoke in the background. Peas, toasted and roasted malts, scorched sugar (Maillard?), sweat. Ends drier and spicier than expected. Richly bodied, very slick, alcoholwarming. Not bad, not overly special... don’t know, but I get a certain homebrew feeling.
