Bottled (thanks to the craziest bartender). Murky reddish orange colour, small head. Aroma is strawberries, some cardboard and mild notes of tartness. Flavour is rather similar. Semidry palate.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of fruits - among them a light note of mango. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt and fruits - among them a very light note of mango, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Boring. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

2nd August 2008. Slightly cloudy amber beer. Very mild hops and not much else. Okay ice cold on a hot day. At least one beer from this brewery is drinkable!

12th July 2008. Cloudy orange beer. Contains wheat but no wheat flavours. The mango is very subdued. Soft, inoffensive and quite non descript.

Bottled@The Rake. Hazy deep yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is mango, lots of parfumeish soap, some earth and lots of blah. Flavour is mango, grass, mild earth and yeast. Rather dry and gets some rubbery notes when warming up.
