Draft @ St Arnoldus, Ieper. Pours clear gold, white head. About 1cm less than the 33cl ordered but couldn’t be bothered asking to get topped up. Aroma has a very light sweetness. Taste is surprisingly bland and lacking life. Hints of a bready pale malt past, oily bitterless body. Very disappointing.

75cl bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, April 16, courtesy of Jeremy. Pours a deep hazy brown with tan head. Aroma is earthy and lightly sweet. Taste bears berries and strange creamy icing flavours.. caramel, yeast, jenever and floral elements with an old ale feel. Very interesting brew.

75cl bottle at the April 2016 Shrewsbury beer share meeting. Having read all of the 9 reviews on here I was not sure if I should take it: glad I did. Best before mid-May this year, it appears to have matured a little in the bottle because I thought it had legs and was both interesting, different and tasty. Poured a dark ruby/brown with a wispy topping. The nose was both fruity and malty with a strange wood like aroma. The taste also had a woody feel, struggled to find any Jenever flavours but thought the overall taste was a little boozy and mellow, in fact not a long way from the regular Harlekijn once I re-read my review of it.
