Tap at WVHNB. Black with beige head. Lots of coffee up front, Haagse Hopjes, citrus peel, cream, smoked almonds, roasted malts. Very light sweetness with medium bitterness. Medium bodied with creamy feel. Doesn’t really work well together to be honest.

Draught at LMG. Murky brown with a minimal head. Aroma is sour malt. Flavor is soft fruit tangy cherry, makes the lips tingle, dry spicy. Superb

Gushing to huge, just-yellowish head; fully hazy light yellow beer, end of bottle solid yeast. Spicy, lemony nose, lemon-scented soap or beauty products, white cheese, marjoram or oregano. Spicy, Greek spiced yoghurt, dry spices, lightly smoked/phenolic, tanned poles (if quite restrained). LIght body, head feels as near-solid; well carbonated. Irish Grätzer brewed in Belgium?? O tempora, o mores - but it’s far from bad...

Bottle split at Chriso Easter tasting, acquired from Callans Dundalk, 04/04/15. Reddish amber with a decent beige covering. Nose is caramel, candied fruit peel, earthy notes, light hop presence. Taste comprises more candied fruit peel, light earthy hop strokes, Caramac bar, malt, bitter orange. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok stuff, lacks depth for ABV, more a hoppy amber - with not quite enough hops than an ES.

Bottle at ChrisO’s. It pours hazy deep red with a small beige head. The nose is bitter-sweet, toasty, red fruits, berry, caramel and candied stuff. The taste is bitter-sweet, earth, toast, brown bread, grainy, leather, varnish, toffee, red fruits and light alcohol with a drying finish. Pretty bitter actually. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ain’t nothing wrong with it. Solid enough.
