Bottle from a gift pack. Hazy yellow amber colour, white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, some yeast and coriander. Flavour is sweet, citrus, wheat and unusual spices/herbs. At first it tastes like a witbier, but after a few sips the unusual herb flavours come out and becomes cloying. Definitely something else, but not too good.

On tap @ Arendsnest, a few weeks ago. A hazy copper/golden coloured beer, creamy head. Aroma of soft and sweet malts, spices, sugar. Taste is of a soft and sweet blonde, creamy and rich, with a subtle red pepper taste. Peppers come out more pronounced in the back of your mouth when you wait a while between sips. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Very nice.

Bottled. Hazy orange brown color, medium head. Aroma is grassy, slight spicy, hint of fruit. Very peppery taste, quite sharp in the palate. Body was too thin and pepper too much in my opinion. Interesting though.

Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Clear amber color, good off-white head. Prunes, alcohol and candy sugar in the nose. Acidic, yeasty flavor with prunes and dates. Odd sourness.
