Bottled@HBF2014 (thanks to VastActiv for the sampler). Slightly hazy orangeish golden colour with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is some floral and dusty notes along with some toffee and mild yeastiness. Flavour is spices, very sugary, mildly zesty and some yeasty notes. This one felt a bit fresh on bottle, so I’m not sure if aging would balance this out a bit from all the directions it was now heading in.

Thanks. Sampled @ ZBF 2014. Appears to have nothing in common with the regular version, even the colour is different, this one is way, way better. Hazy orange with little white head. Nose is lovely pineapple punch, very fruity, fructose, apricot. Taste sadly doesn’t really live up to the promise, bit too soapy, BE yeast, still getting some of that pineapple punch, apricot and fructose but it is way too mellow, still enjoyable stuff, also picking up on sweet white bread. Medium body.

Thanks. Sampled @ ZBF 2014. Clear lemon golden with zero head. Smells of soap, cheap chemical and fizzy lemonade citrus. Taste is likewise plus medicinal notes. Fizzy. Eh….

26/IV/14 - bottle or tap? @ ZBF 2014 (Leuven) - BB: n/a (2014-414) Thanks to the Belgian Ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers!
Little hazy orange beer, small to no head. Aroma: very sweet and sugary, quite some banana, bubble gum, fruity, exotic fruits. MF: way too much carbon to be enjoyable, even after swivelling the beer around in the glass for quite some time. Medium body. Taste: fruity start, sweet, sguary, sweet pineapple, some citrus, bitter hops, bit sourish. Aftertaste: very fruity, sweet peaches, apricots, little bitter, sweet notes.

Good dense, slightly yellowish head over pale orange-golden beer. Cardboard, dry, as well as toasted malts, dusty nose. Slightly spicy (pepper, coriander), white candi sugar, fake citrus. Bitterish-spicy taste, with citrus, coriander, herbs, and a lot of yeastesters. Watered-down Cynar, or something similar. Retronasal slighlty earthy. Warming up, the finish gets better, in the way of hoppy, thankfully. Light body, well-carbonated to spritzy, faintly burning MF. Oh well...
