Clear golden beer; slim white head, fast gone. Grapes (white and sweet) in the nose, orange liqueur, raisins. Again a sharp, but at the same time very refined liqueur taste, bit citrussy, bit of cocos too. Very well-bodied, slick and alcohol obvious. Higher alcohols as well, IMO. Extremely fine-flavoured, but strong winey ale (winey as in dessert wine). Just one thing: absolutely no wheat character, despite the guaranteed 30%...

Hazy golden color; poor head. Nice aroma, of malt, winy, flowers, sweet, a bit alcoholic. Rather sweet, light malt, light peach fruitness. Drinkable, but simple.

Bottled. Golden colour, slightly hazy, small head. Butterscotchy aroma. Really malty with soft mouthfeel. Sweet, sugary and slightly yeasty.

Deep golden, slightly hazy, colour. Medium head. Wonderful toffee-aroma with a touch of citrus. Fullbodied and somewhat malty. The alcohol adds a late bitterness. I wish I had more bottles of this!
