Bottle: Pours orange, no head. Lots of sour and sweet fruit and sugar in the aroma, this is going to be f’n soda. Flavour does provide lots of apricot but at the expense of YOUR SOUL. This "beer" company just continues to release filmy, awful fruit juice. Bah.

Bottle courtesy of Bob on 08/01/2009. Clear amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet fruity, apricot and honey aroma. Very sweet honey and apricot flavor, some light barnyard hints. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle from wetherel, thanks for sharing John. Pours orangey with a tan head. Nose is sweet but not all that nice. Taste is sweet and tart and overall a big eh on the whole.

250ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Sweet, but a touch sharp too, sticky resiny oak barrel aroma. Peach or perhaps apricot too. The compulsory de Troch level of bizarity too - anna got beef! Tastes of beef and bacon in a delicate sweet and sour apricot sauce! Sharpness is very nice, but body’s very sweet. A touch of soap in places. Finish is pleasantly woody, again a bit sweet, and very fruity - peach, apricot, and lemon. They’re weird, but they’re wonderful in their own quirky way - please keep experimenting, mr head brewer!

[Bottle] Not sure what happened to this thing, but this was one of the worst beers I’ve had. The aroma was like sweet apricot, but there was this really sharp, green aroma really similar to jalapeno peppers. The flavor matched the aroma. Two sips and down the drain.

25cl, from the brewery, not complex sweet fruit brew, yet refreshing, not balanced, clear, small head, nothing special
