Hazy, pale brown colour. Light but sweet hoppy aroma. Very fruity hop taste. Smooth almost creamy texture.

Enjoyed at the 4de Gents Bierfestival, 2013. The 33cl bottle pours with an opaque dirty copper body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of malts, some malt sweetened citrus and then pine hop resiny notes. The taste delivers fairly rich malts mixing with firm levels of flavor and bitter citrus hop notes. The hops struggle for a while amid the maltiness but do offer up a few glimpses of resiny hop bitterness. Pretty nice stuff.

Bottle: Deep golddn and cloudy with a big and stable off-white head, solid dry lemony to piney nose, sweet fruits and pale malt underneath; robust dry bitter-sweet flavour, soft and medium bodied; lingering orangey-fruity and hoppy finish, tart and bitter in the aftertaste, but still balanced by some subdued sweet malt. Very fine, very moreish…

Very promising beer, but I was disappointed. Coffee taste was a bit flat and overall the beer was a bit top sweet.

Bottle from Pibar, Lausanne, bottled 26/02/13
Very dark brown color, almost black, with very small head. Aroma of bad coffee, mild. Quite good flavor of roasted malts, with a touch of dark chocolate, and shades of coffee; correct body, the mouthfeel is definitively dry; correct bitterness; coffeish finish.
Not exceptional.

No head but rim, red-brown reflections in black beer. Coffee, dry coffee, and Ersatz Coffee - nowt else. Did I mention coffee? (Cold) coffee, parsley, brown sugar. Dull. Finish has some ’sharper’ bitterness. Medium bodied, quite slick, but flat as a pancake. Oh well. Daily routine is dull. Pity I never drink coffee...

Small yellowish-cream head, veiled amber-chestnut beer. Sweet, syrupy nose with rosewatersyrup, amandine, cakelacquer. Overperfumed, but the hops yield a metallic bitterness in the finish. More, the sample gives the impression of being oxydized. Rosewater embittered. Quite slick, even viscous, alcoholwarming. Sample too long on the shelf?
