Clean amber color. Strange aroma, malty and fruity (red apples) and some alcohol, quite sweet. Not very complex but interesting; the malt comes with some light red apple fruitness, but most of all there is a good (partially aromatic) hopping, strong and very long at the end; the final is also characterized by a good and strong caramel character. Very good body structure.

Very dark brown colour. Toasty, slightly nutty aroma. Slightly creamy body. Flavour of mild milk chocolate and cappucino foam. Kind of watery in the finish.

The nose is flowery, fruity but too faint. The color is amber and the head is small. The mouthfeel is very soft, and the flavor is fruity with notes of black currant and other berries. It is slightly prickling. All in all a really good beer.

[Bottled] The aroma is very sweet from a good maltblend - much like Sam Adams Boston Ale. The appearance is a light red very bubbly beer with a small bubbly head - that disappears prematurely. The flavor is malty and sweet with strong orange notes and ending on a good bitterness. Which all in all makes it a very refreshing ale.

Chestnut colour, all clear. Slight head, yellowish, irregular. Nose of brown gingerbread, pudding, vanilla. Sweet taste, malty upbuild, surrounded by roasted-bitter maltbite. Almondy flavour, perfumey. Medium-bodied. More almondy sweetness in the aftertaste. The overly perfumed character gets annoying after some time, like an unrefined brandy.

Orange to golden in colour. Flowery aroma. Very dry and very hoppy. Clean with orange and toffee flavours and really bitter finish. Flavourful, but with bold mouthfeel.
