Bottled. Hazy golden colour with a huge beige head that leaves some lace. Aroma is quite sweet of toffee, caramel malts, some mild fruityness and nectar. Flavour is malts, some stinging sweetness along with mild spicyness. Also some hints of yeast and mild grassyness.

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a medium, partly lasting head. Sweetish-honey-malty aroma with hints of (pleasant) diacetyl and quite pleasant, aromatic hops. Slightly sour-malty, honeyish flavor with some wheaty hints and low bitterness. Medium-bodied with balanced carbonation. Quite nice, but slightly unclean, and lacking character somewhat.

Bottle. Hazy golden with a huge offwhite head. Herbal hop aroma. Flavours well-balanced between herbal hop bitterness and a sweet maltiness. Quite fizzy. Not bad.

Orange colored beer with a fast disappearing white head. Coriander is dominantly present in the aroma. A malty sweetness with some fruity notes in the background, but all dominated by the coriander as well. According the label the beer was bottled one month ago. I think it was to young.

A verry bitter very spicy beer. Tasted at hop karakter festival 2007 at vighte. Just a little to spicy.

Hurrah for bitter blondes... Cloudy gold with lasting, laced head. Pretty. Hops and straw aroma. Flavor is hoppy, with some sweetness that’s overwhelmed by dry, bubbly and bitter. Up there with Bink for nice, hoppy blondes. Unexpected and damn nice.

Bottled. Unclear dark golden coloured. Dense off white head. Fuirts, light spice, alcohol and yeast in the aroma. Flaovur of ripe fruits and sweetness. Seems a bit unfinished to me. Thin and unpleasant mouthfeel. Is a not too grand beer IMO.
