Good, dense, just off-white head over fully hazy yellow beer. Spicy nose, lunaria, grass, chamomille, garden herbs, bit yeasty. Much of the same, taste and certainly finish has a lot of beeryeast. Again garden herbs, dandelion, chamomille. Grist-slick, yeast-filled; good carbonation. Original! Probably the best sampled from the Gruyère brewery. Thanks to Joren for bringing!

Very thick, almost fluffy, bit dirty yellow head over fully hazy straw coloured beer. Fresh smelling nose, green leaves, herbs, medicinal herbs, camomille. Again herbal, garden herbs; leaves, fresh and partly dried. Hints at citrus, yeastnotes. Very, very faint acidity. At least medium bodied, bit chewy, creamy texture. Good carbonation. OK, nothing wrong, nothing special. Txs to Joren for bringing!

űhazy pale yellow colour, huge, white head, which lasts for quite a few minutes; aroma of citrussy, wheaty, some fruity (peach, pear and maybe apple) and yeasty notes; taste of bread crust, fruity sweetness, slight lemony notes and quite present hoppy bitterness; not bad at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12CsEuxN5vQ

Medium, dwindling yellow-creamy head over hazy red-amber beer. Caramel, parsley, bready nose. Aromatic, but also hints as from Maillard reaction. Rainwater, wet dog. Bitterish, toasted, fine acidity, almost no sweetness to be detected. Leafy, and again bready flavours. Rainwater returns in the taste profile, and hints of tomato. Light to medium body, quite spritzy carbonation, light slickness. Nice, if quite unspectacular. Kind of Spéciale Belge-like. Thanks to Joren for bringing!

Towering, huge, very dense & fine, just off-white head, ultra stable over hazy yellow-orange beer. Herbal, weeds, not much fruit in the nose, but the huge head seriously hampers sniffing. Tastes more bitter-herbal than fruity; just a light acidity into the finish as from unripe strawberry. After a while also a bit of citruspeel. Creamy feel from the unavoidable head, spritzy carbonation, light body. Some wheatslickness. Bit disappointing - the label is by far the most striking feature from this beer. Thanks to Joren for bringing!
