Tap at thre Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and lots of lace. The aroma is weak malty, yeasty with some hoppy notes. The flavour is medium bitter with a nice smooth hoppy bitter palate. Rather hoppy for a pale ale but I’m not complaining!

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Clear dark golden pour with a medium thin creamy white head that recedes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak and grainy malt. Medium body with an oaky character and notes of yeast and caramel malt. The finish is oaky with a peppery yeast aftertaste. Oak aging definitely improved the base beer based on my recollection of the original. Decent overall.

Clear dark brown beer, massive cream coloured head. Unusual fruity nose - a little blackcurrant! Palate is light and airy with mild crispy carbonation. More fruits - slight Dr Pepper vibe, a little blackcurrant! Trace of bubblegum ester. Not much malt. Semi dry finish. Bacon? Maybe a trace of it in the aftertaste. Unusual and interesting beer.

Muddy Unfiltered Dark Yellow, Huge Head, Medium Lacing. Yeast and Poppy seeds Aroma. Belgian Yeast, toasted Poppy Seeds, Sweet Malt. If i did not read the label, I probably wouldn’t be able to put my finger about the poppy seeds. When you know it, it does taste like it. You Could actually see some poppy seeds floating in it. Watery thin body. Reminds me of watered down Saison. Well Hidden Alcohol, very refreshing for high ABV. I’ve enjoyed it, Rather Nice.Plus, it is Organic, so it is good for you. At least, that is what you can tell your wife.
