33cl bottle from RW80, many thanks! Pours hazy orange/reddish golden colour with a mid-sized good lasting off-white head. Aroma of fruity, resinous hops, spruce, red malt. Taste of red toasted malt, caramel, bitter hops, resins, spices, okay!

Bottle [accidentally received twice: thanks bierkoning and RW80] shared with dad. Very nice hazy ruby red color, full sized off-white to beige head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, some herbs or spices, a hint of dried fruits and some fruitpeel. Taste malts, again a hint of fruitpeel, lightly some alcohol, a bit sweet-sourish, sourish red fruit. Decent body, medium carbonation. Typical winterbeer.

Bottle [thanks to bierkoning] @ home. Lightly hazy orange color, medium sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, lightly hops, a bit floral and a hint of peach in the distance. Tastes exactly the same: lightly malts, again hops, again floral or ’blossomy’ perhaps and a hint of peach in the background. Decent body and carbonation. Floral IPA, quite nice to have one of these every once in a while, but it’s not (yet?) an IPA I’d grab when I just want to have a good IPA I’m afraid. Solid start though.

0.33 l bottle, best before November 2016, thanks Secret Sint! Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, foamy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, fruity-yeasty aroma of hay, gooseberry, pear, honeydew and hints of banana and clove. Sweetish, fruity-yeasty, minimally grassy taste of pear, gooseberry, lemon peel and hay, followed by a medium long, slightly sourish, medium bitter finish with subtle notes of banana and clove. Medium body, smooth and effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very refreshing, superbly balanced, maybe a bit too thin. Really nice!
