Cloudy pale yellow colour with hug creamy white head. Spicey corriander/clove aroma. Smooth spicey mouthfeel. Short and dry on palate. For a 9%abv don’t get that alcohol taste. very drinkable.

Sloppy white head of varying sized bubbles. Reduces quickly. Murky dirty orange in color. Initial skunky aroma but then it dissipates to a sharp, distinct lemon and acetic acid aroma. A bit of honey, spices and oranges comes out in the aroma as it warms also. This aroma is really starting to grow on me. Sweet malty and fruity flavor. More ripe fruit, honey, and sweet malts. Light alcohol presence. Pretty good balance. Finishes sweet and fruity. A brew that scared me at first but finished pretty damn well.

Golden with a poor head, fruity aroma, warming fruity taste, a beer to drink slowly by the fire.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, blond color with a large, frothy white head. Aromas of bananas, raisin, cereal, and hints of butterscotch. Palate is moderate with a creamy finish. Taste of light bitterness with hints of bananas, roasted malts, and raisin. Good beer.

Color golden dark with persistent and luxuriant foam. Pleasant aroma of fruit and candied sugar. In mouth the body is full, the end is dry and little spicy.

750ml. bottle, with a champagne like cork. It pours a cloudy golden-orange colour, with a lot of floaties, and a head that fades quickly but leaves a good lace. Smell of rip fruits, orange, spices, coriander, cloves. Kind of apricot texture, silky flavor. Taste I’d say is apricots, spices just like the smell, very good orange in tongue after a while. Complex. Really a hell of a good beer. Only bad thing I can say is a bit metallic both in nose and tongue, but I’m rating high because I think that is due to... by mistake I’ve kept it stored eight months after the expiring date. And still it’s great! I may rate it higher if I put my mouth on another one.
