Clear amber, thin pale head. Aroma of freshly mown grass. Dry, malty, spiced. Not sure about this one. Gentian is a disinfectant that I’ve used to clean out people’s wounds in the emergency room.

courtesy of one of our tasting member. Pours golden Aroma / taste, floral and herbal. Love the idea of the unique use of this flower gentian that really brought something new to a beer. Beer was really smooth to sip, leaving a fresh floral/herbal feel almost of mint.

Bottle. Orange/red colour. Big white head. Little haziness. This one smells like some kind of sweet cake with citrus. Nice mild and sweet hoppy flavor. I don´t like the strange bitterness in the aftertaste though. This one reminds me of a "belgian IPA", because of it´s complexity and the not so sticky although hoppy taste,

Amber-red beer; head reduced to coloured rim. A bit of acidity in the nose, quite vinous, wood, acetone evern. Woody, vinous, severe beer with higher alcohols and slightly phenolic. Short lived-hops appear and disappear again. Rather well-bodied, slick and bit burning MF; longlasting aftertaste. Very interesting, curious beer, if on the verge of astringency. Hops come out good initially, but a bit too short.

Small white rim over hazy yellow beer. Spicy, but not overspiced nose, and also a slight chocolate aroma? Again fine spicy taste, this time more coriander-like, but not domination. Light body, and preciously little palate. Doable. Not one you make big searches for, but if you stumble upon it, one to try - only if it is for the gentian.
