Bottled. It looked quite decent, clear and golden-colored, topped by a white head, and it had a medium body, but the rest wasn’t good. Mothballs and honey on the nose, and honey and hints of spicyness in the flavor. Honey finish as well. I like honey, but this was too much, and when the mothball-aroma was in there as well, it failed to thrill me. (061222)

Hazy amber color, with red shades; thin head, probably low carbonation. The aroma shows some sweet malt and light fruitness. The mouthfeel is light, the flavor is not strong, but with some malt; there is still some yeast taste; unfortunately the bitterness is too low and the final too short. Ordinary.

Cloudy yellow color, medium white head. Aroma is sweet of honey and bubblegum, but also dusty of yeast, chalk, also some hop. Bit dry and sweet taste, honey. Odd brew.

(75cl bottle, with many thanks to bierkoning) Hazy orange colour with a moderate foamy, minimal off-white head. Honeyish malty, yeasty and fruity (lemon zest) aroma with a touch of coriander spice. Sweet and spicy flavour, full to medium body with a smooth carbonation. Malt-accented, yeasty-fruity taste with an almost lingering spicy, delicate bitter finish, slightly hoppy with a warming alcoholic note. Pleasant and well-rounded brew.

750 ml bottle, shared with a certain MoritzF: light amber coloured, small, but quite stable foamy layer; sweet-malty and fruity (citrousy) nose; sweetish and light bitter flavour; sweetish, fruity, but also distinctive bitter finish. A pleasant, well rounded brew !

Bottle (75 cl, shared with MoritzF): Hazy, amber coloured, small but stable off-white head; exotic fruity aroma, sweet malt (caramel) in the nose, sweetish flavour, velvet MF; fruity, almost vinous finish with a bit of yeasty tartness in the very end. Nice, but boring.......
