330ml bottle. Cloudy, auburn colour with weak ruby shimmer and small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, dark malty aroma, hints of malt lozenge, a touch of fudge, toasted nuts, whiffs of marzipan. Taste is slightly nutty, dark and caramel malty, hints of malt lozenge, caramel, a touch of fudge, marzipan, mildly bitter, hoppy counterpart.
Watery texture, soft, minimally cloying palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Low sweetness, not the most flattering flavours - so-so.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is brown and toasted malts with caramel, hint of roast and chocolate. Flavour is moderate bitersweet. Body could be a bit more robust, but I appreciate the malty aroma and the bitterness.

Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een licht troebel oranjekleurig bier met een oranje schuim! Het heeft een aroma van en sinaasappel. De smaak is sinaasappel achtig, fruitig en bitter.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierloods22', best before December 2026. A little hazy, dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and light raisins. Quite sweet malty, moderately bitter, minimally fruity taste of caramel, nuts, some cocoa and traces of raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Bock, very well-balanced.

33cl Fles van Katjeskelder parkshop. Licht mistig oranjegouden kleur, witte kraag. Licht moutig, harsig, citrus, fruitig, redelijk klassiek, helaas ook een zweem dode gist, hint van plastic, grassig-harsig bittere finish. Lichte body. Voelt zwaarder dan 4%. OK-ish.

Golden colour with light haze and lasting thin head. Aroma has some residual pale malt sugars. The pale malt comes through just as well in the taste. Next to that a rounded bitterness with light floral notes. Decent.
