Bottle. Hazy/cloudy orange color, white head. Aroma from citrus, wheat and spices, reminds me of a witbier. Spicy flavor, fruits, grass, rather bitter after a while. Dry hoppy finish.

Dark amber. Big frothy head. Stale flavor, but sweet enough to be drinkable. Fruity and nutty.

Bottle at La Porte Noire in Brussels. Amber color with big, white head that fades to persistent layer. Slightly sourish, cidery nose, grainy like speculoos cookies. Tart, cidery flavor with caramel malt and dusty-hop backdrop. Fairly dry with lightly bitter aftertaste. Interesting and light enough to refresh. Love to try it on tap.

Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy orange with a medium white head. Fruity, earthy, and yeasty aroma. Moussy mouthfeel. Quite dry. Good but not very interesting.
