Slightly hazy golden blonde coloured body with a very thin white head. Aroma of fresh apples, yeast, corn, metal, raisins and caster sugar. Full-bodied; Effervescent taste up front with a lot of pungent malt, metal tastes and a good spicey fruityness tucked in with some sugars, alcohol and a very complex flavour. Aftertaste shows some sugars, toffee and mild corn flavours. Overall, a pretty good beer - showing a ton of complexity throughout. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 22-December-2008 (which i’ve never seen this bottle in the whole of Belgium, ever) sampled at home in Washington on 03-March-2009.

[33cl bottle] Hazy, reddish amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Yeasty, moderately sweet and toasted malty aroma with anise, dried fruits and a touch of spicy and herbal hops. Light-sweet flavour with hoppy bitterness, medium body impression with a smooth carbonation. Toasty malty and slightly fruity taste of figs and prunes. Toast-malty and moderately fruity, slightly spicy finish with a delicate hoppy blend. Well-rounded brew [20.I.09].

Sort of an average blond, decent malt and nice hops, but not much character or complexity.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with huge, firm, beige head. Fruity nose with caramel, dried fruit, raisins and prunes. A touch of acidity in the aroma. Fruity, malty taste with notes of dried fruit, raisins, prunes and slightly sour hints of wild berries. Bittersweet finish with a hint of alcohol shining through. Not overly sweet, balanced bitterness. Nice beer. In short: tart and spicy berries.
