Paper wrapped bottle. pale blonde, pours a huge head. Tangerine and flowers in the aroma. Fruity (tangerine, pineapple) flavor, somewhat perfumed with flowery hops. Alcoholic. Some earthy notes coming up in the aftertaste. Not unfriendly, but the taste is not perfect.

Small whitish head over orange-amberish beer. Spicy, coriander, grassy & a touch of caramel. Coriander, sweetish and perfumey-spicy. Not yet soupy, but yet too much coriander-tuned. Finish is sweet-spicy. Medium bodied, alcohol peeping through. Sweetish - OK, but definitely too much coriander used.

750 bottle. Pours turbid gold with nose of spicy yeasty malt, hopcitrus, florals. tastes peppery, floral, and yeasty, with a smooth but not complex palate. If I ever met a lady who liked this beer, I’d either marry her or pawn her off to my wingman, depending upon her intellect.

(Bottled, 0.75l) Very hazy yellow-golden with a medium, quite firm, lasting and lacy head. Quite original aroma of sweetish, pale malt, anise and licorice, spices, lemony hops. Spicy and licoricey flavor with sweet, bready maltiness, orangey fruitiness, and flowery-lemony-aromatic hops. Medium body, soft carbonation, reasonably refreshing despite the sweetness. A quite original mix of spices, hops, and malt. Too sweet to be fully enjoyable, but probably good "for the ladies".

750ml bottle (One Pint Pub, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009)
White raisin aroma, sharp, almost like a lambic in part, but also winey. Pine floor cleaner, and rubber. Taste is masses of rubber. Condom rubber, not black grommet rubber. Burps rubber. There’s more flavour with the yeast added, and thankfully less rubber, so do add plenty of yeast.
