For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear orange body under a big off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty with citric fruits, Nelson hops and hint of red berries. Fresh, fruity taste with mild, sweet malt, quite fruity, hint od acidic berries and decent bitterness. Medium body with same aftertaste. Quite nice and slightly original.

Tap @ the brewpub. Dark brown body, almost black under a fine, dense, lacing beige head. Aroma has dark malt, moderate coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, dark roasted malt, coffee and some chocolate with fine bitterness. Balanced body with a pleasant aftertaste. A nice, well made, not too sweet brown ale with moderate coffee flavor that makes this a nice one both for drinking alone or as food companion.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a small white head. Aroma is fruity with funk and lemon, some wood and ripe fruit. Taste is quite acidic with malt, funk, lemon, wood and cellar notes. Balanced body with same aftertaste. Nice, rather classic geuze, quite acidic. Feels a bit fresh, need some more time I think.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear orange body under a nice off-white head. Interesting, rather spicy aroma, malt, herbs, spices, licorice and pepper. Taste is sweet malt with the same spicy, herbs and slightly fruity taste. Medium body and pleasant aftertaste. Fun, different and a bit challenging but all over I like it.

Backlog October 2013. Clear, deep amber body under a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma has a hint anise and unfortunately quite district wet cardboard. Taste is sweet malt with licorice and diastyle. Medium body and same faulty aftertaste. Still drinkable but even overlocking the fault it’s still not a very exiting beer.

Tap @ Qvarteret. Unclear orange golden body under a medium sized white head. Strong aroma of malt, citric fruit, oranges and fruity yeast. Taste is balanced sweet with really soft malt, concentrated on citric fruits, ripe fruit, oranges, some yeast and balanced bitterness. Alcohol is well integrated and slightly warming. Fine balanced body with long lasting, smooth aftertaste. A really nice one this.
