Bottled 33cl (BB 10/2006)
Pale a bit hazy yellow with a big white head, lace. Malty, sweetish fruity nose. Soft sweetish flavor, well-balanced malt character. Almost like a bit of honey and wheat added. Some alcohol in the flavor but quite mild and oily finish. Not maybe a world class brew but drinkable.

Dark amber color. A Strong Ale with no character; medium body, quite dry; a lot of caramel; some freshness only in the aroma.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Amber colour, slightly hazy, rich head. Banan and almond aroma. Sweet of lots of toffee and butterscotch. Rounded mouthfeel, medium body. Pleasant, but not overly complex.

Hazy orange color, huge cloudy white head. Light malt and lemon aroma. Carbonated mouthfeel. Sweetish, sugary but same time a bit hoppy flavor with spicey notes. Gives sweet aftertaste. Does not show much of its alcohol. First I thought this was like witbier with lots of candy sugar added.

April 2004. Hazy blonde with a yeasty lemony aroma, a little tart. Sweet confectionnary sugar with alittle spiciness and oranges, and good alcohol warmth. Creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, white head. Very malty, but not too sweet. Balanced well by a strong alcohol flavour. Aroma and flavour have a hint of horse or goat, but it suits the beer OK.

Still drunk as "La Swaf!" from Vervifontaine Collapsing, very dense head, very stable; hazy light orange, very carbonated. Very fresh, citrussy hops - GREAT. Slightly pharmaceutical (no doubt the ginseng) flavour, but obviously in a very nice, citrussy way. There’s a definite liquorice taste in the finish. End of the bottle is much sweeter because of the yeast. Medium bodied, very refreshing. Yeast gives an enormous, creamy boost. ANOTHER great one from Vervifontaine. I’m liking their beers more and more...
