Bottle. An amber beer with a beige orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and flowery combined with notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet and quite hoppy combined with strong notes of fruit, before a dryness from the hops almost gives it a note of wood. In the end the alcohol makes its presence known.

Bottle. A clear yellow beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very flowery hoppy, and the flavor is also sweet and very hoppy, and also quite flowery, leading to a very bitter end. The body is thin. All in all I find it boring.

Bottle. A hazy orange beer with no head, inspite of it being very lively when opened. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of orange as well as a good deal of hops, but also light notes fo coriander. The flavor is very sweet and quite wheaty combined with strong notes of oranges and some spicys - definately coriander, leading to a dry wheaty end.

A yellow beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and grassy, and the flavor is very fresh with crisp malt notes combined with a nice grassy hoppyness that also has a touch of lemon, and leads to a nice bitter end. Only drawback is that the body is somewhat thin - no wonder considering the 3.9% ABV, but for such a light beer, this has a lot of taste.
