Don’t remember much from this beer, which usually means I found it to be pretty average. My notes say only that the finish was nice with a firm body and good carbonation.

Bottle @ Café Buitenlust. Nice coloured beer (yellow/golden). Very active foam and bubbles, that make me a little bit worried about the mouthfeel. First few sips were quite active and agressive, lot’s of co2. As time progressed this improved a bit. Not bad at all.

Yellow orange color. Nice smell, nice taste. Carbonation is lively but suits the beer and the ABV in my opinion.

Nice dark brown-ish color with ruby-red shine coming through. Smell wasn’t that good, mouthfeel was great.

A little clear-golden beer under a towering glass of fine, dense, lightly yellowish foam, very slowly collapsing. Not much nose to be gained under all the above; faint herbal malts, garden weeds and just a hint at lilly of the valley. Very hopbitter head, collecting all the alpha’s, but, it would seem, also a bit of iron... Quite seriously hopped, but hoparomas are only fleeting, leaving sweet pale malts, and a retronasal hint at metallic bitterness - but rather well-balanced. Medium carbonation, rather light body, light slickness. As the marks ought to convey, better than the sum of its parts.

Really nice dark color with red glow coming through. Smell is not exceptional, but really nice taste. Palate very good as well.
