Bottle from a gift pack. Orange golden colour, white head. Aroma of sweet malts and coriander, citrus, fruits. Flavour is spicy sweet, coriander and anis. Too sweet for me. 73537 Re-rate 26AUG13 I find this to be more malty, but less sugary sweet than before, some caramel/toffee in there, nice lemon peel. It’s still sweet, but has a decent bitter finish and a little more hop-kick. Medium-bodied. 737314

Bottle from a gift pack. Way too sweet and artificial tasting. Also the strange herbs used in the normal adriaan are present, and I don’t like those. Raspberries and Adriaan. Not good.

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.
