Orange color, yeast adds floating particles and some hazyness, firm small creamy white head. Slightly lemony, but more fruity aroma with yeast and strong coriander. Medium-bodied. Fruity and citrusy Belgish trippel like flavor. Hoppy bitter and peppery. Aftertaste has bitterness and coriander, also some warming alcohol. Not bad, but a bit simple.

Bottle, shared by yespr. Clear, golden body, with a small, off-white head. Fruity nose with tea and spices. The flavor starts rather fruity, and some tea-like spicyness comes after a while. As expected, there’s not much bitterness. Medium body. I’m having hard times believing it’s brewed as a traditional gruit beer, it’s too good for that, but it’s still not good enough to be more than nice and interesting. (071005)

Bottle, courtesy of yespr. Almost golden body with floaties, and a nice, but diminishing white head. Lots of citrus on the nose, with pale malt and some spices. Sweet flavor with pale malt, fruityness, citrus, some spices and bitterness. Medium body. Dry, long, fruity finish, Quite nice, especially the aroma and flavor, but it is a bit thin. (071005)

Hazy nut brown color, decent creamy off-white head. Sticky aroma of berries, dark malts and rye. Medium-bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Grainy, sweet and sour flavor. A bit burned malty, almost soy sauce -like. Wheat and rye can be picked from the flavors. Odd sourness makes me wonder if this is infected, but other ratings indicate that this may not be a case. Not my cup of tea.

Dark ruby color, small off-white head, lace. Mostly sweetish aroma, not very stout-like. Flavor is not that stout-like either. Metallic with late roastyness. Flavor has lots of dark caramel malts in it.
