On tap at Ørsted. Look is yellowish golden with a white head. Aroma was dominated by citrus with a bitter undertone. The beer starts off fruity and builds to a nice bitterness. Very enjoyable.

At ZBF 2009, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium
Hazy blond body. Creamy white head which becomes soapy after a while (like the soap that floats around on the water in your sink when doing the dishes). Good lace however. Well balanced aroma of citrus, orange, hops. Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Longlasting, bit watery finish. Also the hoppy bitterness is somewhat astringent. Overall quite nice.

Draft. An unclear dar golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with a slight tart note and light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet with a nice acidic edge and fruity notes of citrus, some yeast, and herbs, leading to a quite tart finish. Lovely flavor - surprisingly boring aroma.

(25cl bottle) Hazy, amber colour with a short off-white foamy layer. Sweet toast-malty nose with light notes of licorice, wort and a whiff of herbal hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Toasty malty and subtle fruity taste with notes of licorice, a tinge of caramel and shy herbal hops. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter and toasty finish with notes of licorice and a fruity vinous touch in the aftertaste. Decent Belgian amber Ale (27.II.09).
