Orange gold. Huge, dense white head, good lace. Very yeasty, bready nose and orangezeste. Very dry, very citrussy (orange- or lemonzeste). Flowery bitterness and dryness go all to the end. Medium bodied, dryness makes it seem less (high attenuation). Aftertaste gives some yeast again, and just a touch of liquorice. This is one hell of a dry s... It isn't bad, considering all - had it combined (after tasting) with mussels - great.

Very thick, white head, heavy fizzling, irregular head. Pale orangey colour, hazy. Nose is doughy and ???tapenade!?? (+olive paste). It is the beer, new glass proves it: olive-smell. It becomes repulsive after some time. Quite bitter taste, at first. Slight liquorice background flavour. Bitter isn't hoppy, but vegetable & burnt. Outspoken alcohol-burn. medium-bodied. Bitterness fades, leaving a flavour as of kumquat and malt - supplanting the horrible nose. Nose is impardonnable. Rest is OK, nothing more.

Nose of caramalts indeed, also marzipan and walnutoil. Taste rather sweet, then becoming quite bitter (burnt malts, few hops detectable). Fizzy mouthfeel and bitterness disappears to lingering sweetness. Another ''special'' brew for a marketchain, X-mas issue.
