Fläschchen: Amber, a bit hazy, small foamy islands on the surface; light to moderate sweet-bitterflavour, fizzy MF, light to medium bodied; mild aroma of nuts, toasted malt and an illusion of a sour ale; sweet dark malt and a faint vinous and sourish touch in the finish. Unusual, but pleasant thirst-quencher.......

(25cl bottle) Hazy, orange coloured hue with loads of particles and minimal off-white foamy head. Moderately sweet and slightly yeasty malty aroma with lemony and zesty fruity notes and flowery hops. Light-sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Malty and fruity taste with light spicy and floral hoppy notes. Sweet malty and fruity, slightly flowery finish. Good (25.II.09).

Bottle from Systembolaget. Orange with a yellowish head. Sweet fruit and yeast aroma. Refreshing belgian but a bit thin and not very complex, almost like a blond ale.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazy brown body and a quickly fading off-white head. Aroma of raisins, banana, chocolate, smoke and sour mash. Taste is chocolate, sour mash, dried fruit and dark fruit. Watery and light mouthfeel.

(Bottle) Hazy amber colour with huge, beige head leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, malty nose with apricots, grapefruit, citrus peel, flowers and yeast. Fruity, malty taste with notes of citrus (grapefruit and orange), dried apricots and spicy, citrussy hops in the finish. Medium body, rather sweet. Nice and well made beer. In short: spicy citrus on solid malt foundation.

Bottled (no BB mentioned). Ty bierkoning. Hazy golden color, huge off-white head. Fruity and a bit tart aroma. Peppery flavor with banana and mango fruityness. Quite full-body with obvious alcohol presence. Long peppery-alcoholic flavor with some yeasty notes. Standard drinkable triple.

Draught: Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma is fruit and malts. Taste is average at best with soft fruits and malts. Reminded me of a fresh can of natty light. This could be a good summertime drinking beer.
