Bottle from Burg Bieren, dated 16th Jan 2015 BB March 2017, large sample. Almost clear orange color, short frothy head. Soft bready aroma, bit cardboard, hint of caramel, slight flowery hop, touch of green apples, slight spicy yeast. Bit sweet in taste, slight bitterness, malty cardboard and yeasty off flavors. Quite a horrible way to start a new brewery. This is just bad homebrew. Drain pour.

Bottle from Plan B Rotterdam, purchased Sunday 15th March 2015 consumed at home Tuesday 17th March 2015 Nice carbonation leaves a soft mouthfeel, a little dusty hop but gets fruity with some sweet grapefruit, a little bit of a head but not too much. Dry in mouth, bittersweet, good beer from a new brewery. A6 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.5

Draft at Kaapse. Pours cloudy brown with a big off white head. Aroma of grassy and weedy hops, herbs and sweet malt. Flavor is light moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Some orange coming out in the palate. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.

Bottle. Hazy dark amber with small off white head. Very malty with lots of caramel and roasted hazelnuts, some biscuits too. Strong aroma hops with a bit herbal touch. Medium sweet and bitter. Hmmm, somehow the hops and malts don't really work together for me, it's like hop tea mixed with a random beer. Not bad though.

33cl bottle from ABCBeers. Thin creamy white head. Clear amber pour. A little sweet. Needs more hops to be an IPA
