Bottle from a Durbuy shop - thanks, Anke! Hazy amber, stable, frothy, tan head. Aroma of honey, plum, brioche, pear, vague butter. Taste has sweetish plum, pear & apple in a honey-malty body with bready & buttery touches. Herbal hoppy finish, grassy, lingering honey and some liqueur-like alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Drinkable but probably well past its prime.

Clear pale brown colour with thin head. Aroma is packed with honey. Quite a strong, herbal honey too. Despite all the honey the flavour is not extremely sweet. There's a herbal element (rosemary?) and a light dryness in the finish.

250ml bottle kindly shared by Finn. Durable white head to a bright warm golden body, rings of lace down the glass. Moderate smell of dried fruits and bread-like malts. Mixed taste pf oily hops, dried fruits and some traces of Belgian yeast strain. Dried fruity endnotes. Quite alright. (Tromsø 20.07.2021).

Delt med Rune på Nerstranda. Gyldengul. Nesten klar. Lavt tett skum. Bæraroma. Smaken mere bær.Tørr. Hint av gjær. Litt kjedelig.
