Bottle. Hazy, golden-orange pour. Berry-like, sour fruityness and some barnyard in the aroma. The flavor is quite sour and berry-like as well. Medium, quite astringent mouthfeel. Truly a lovely beer, that surprised a bit. (070914)

Dezent fruchtiger Antrunk, dann kommt direkt eine starke würzige Note auf, die sich später noch stark steigert. Im Mittelteil sind neben der stärker werdenden Würzigkeit, zu der in der selben Stärke auch ein Malzaroma zählt, Kräutertöne zu erkennen, ein hopfiger Ton rundet das Ganze ab. Im Nachgeschmack steht der Kräuterton vorerst im Vordergrund, als dieser schwächer wird, tritt ein dunkles Malzaroma an diese Stelle, welches dann angenehm ausklingt. Gelungen, keine Frage! Test vom 10.10.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,12,12,12,12,12 - 12,00

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 22 Sep 2007) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Fruity nose with red berries, dark fruit and hints of brown sugar. Malty, fairly sweet taste with dried fruit, raisins, prunes, brown sugar, caramel and a spicy, sweetish finish. A bit odd: citric notes give it a position somewhere between an oud bruin and a dubbel. Nice mixture.

Can courtesy of Okbeer: Poured a golden yellow color ale with some small white hue and a medium size pure white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of wheat and some light coriander. Taste is also dominated by some light wheat with some commendable spice mix in which coriander dominates. Body is a bit light with too much filtration with some adequate carbonation.
