33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Jumbo Foodmarket, Utrecht. Dutch brewery #388. Hazy dark golden with a huge white head. Coriander and cardamom aroma. I suspected some ginger also to be present but it isn't mentioned on the label. Sweet taste with a low bitter finish. Coriander and cardamom are a bit overpowering in here, dampening the malts, hops and yeast so a bit more restrain when using these spices would result in a better balanced beer I think.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Minimally musty, doughy, wheaty and citrusy aroma, notes of lemon zest, herbal overtones with a touch of sorrel. Taste is citrusy, zesty fruity, slighty herbal, wheaty basis with a minimally doughy touch, hints of peach, apricot, orange zest, some bitter hop. Prickly, refreshing, quite hop dominated, not overly elaborated on the wheaty part.
