Can@fonefan. Pale golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is malty, some yeasty notes along with spices, mild rubbery notes as well as quite strong on the grassy side. Flavour is very similar, finishing in a rather big bitter way. A rather strongly hopped Belgian ale, but still tasty as such.

Tap at Irreale. Black, dark golden lace. Roast, coffee, honey, sponge cake , syrup, liquorice, espresso/coffeeground aftertaste. the flavor is great, a hint more aromatics and this is world class.

Tap at Irreale. Quite piney nose, cloudy orange Amber , golden lace. Leafy , grassy and herbal hop base, quite miniscule body, grassy, pine needle finish. A bit insubstantial, leaves you chewing on an ingot.

Tap at irreale. Light hazy golden, offwhite lace. Light metallic citrus and pine hop aromatics. Fairly light clay and blueberry base, herbal, piney finish. Needs more substance for my taste.

Tap at irreale. Earthy, metallic-and minerally aromatics - that yeast is pining for the fjords in a oxidized kind of way. Pale yellow, white head. Medium light sparkly body. Straw malt, light grassy hops, clay finish.
