Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from ’Speciaalbierpakket.nl’, best before May 2018. Hazy, golden amber with a large, fluffy, white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity-grassy aroma of lemon, straw and some caramel. Sweetish-malty, slightly grassy taste of grains, straw, caramel and some citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy finish. Thin to medium body, very effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay!

Bottle @ home. Clear dark orange color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, sweet, herbal, perfumy, weird kind of old applepeel hint. Not very nice. Decent body, decent to medium carbonation. Don’t like it.

Bottle shared at Maakun’s. Massive thanks, just what I needed. Slightly hazy tea brown amber with thin greyish head. Very rich bittersweet caramelized orangepeel with bready, and soapy, plasticcy, doughy, rosemary, herbalness, weird yeastiness. Moderate sweet and quite bitter. Medium oily slick malty body. Aroma starts ok but the off tastes are more complex than the good tastes. Not a fan. --- Beer merged from original tick of Willem V.0 on 09 Jan 2018 at 13:07 - Score: 5

Bottle shared. Almost clear brown with small beige head. Quite flowery, soap, toilet cleaner, light caramel malts, herbs, orange peel, tea, old wood, bitter grassy notes. It’s surprisingly flowery, and I don’t get much malt character. Light sweet and medium bitter. Just medium bodied with slick feel. It’s not as bad as some Crooked Spider beers, but it’s way too flowery for me again.
