Review transfer from personal notes. Beautiful light amber color, transparent. Rocky head retains exceptionally well. Aroma is very... aromatic, from a good distance away from the glass as well. But alas, is this Irish Spring soap or is it a beer? Seriously, the lime flavoring in this beer gives it a bready/soapy lime aroma that makes you think you’re in the shower! Yikes! Taste is the most disappointing part of this beer. Smell, appearance and drinkability are great. This is a weak, lime flavored amber ale with a slight resemblance to american wheats (wheat as an ingredient, but virtually no characteristics of a wheat beer that you would find from Germany). Finish isn’t terribly long. But it’s a refreshing beer. Almost light enough to qualify for lawnmower status.

Bottle at DHVL. 1993 vintage. Pours amber coloured with a small off white head. Dusty and oxidized aromas with notes of butterscotch, caramel and peas. Flavour sweet malt, caramel, toffee, matured beer and alcohol.

1993 Cuvee Antwerpen. Dark amber with a small off-white head. Very dusty an mouldy, and vineous. To old to rate properly, I just wanted to have it in my records. Numbers don’t reflect my experience but are simply the average score at this time. I’ll be looking for a fresher one for a re-rate.

75cl bottle @ DHVL. 1993 Vintage. Pours amber/reddish with a small creamy white head and lacings. Aroma is heavily oxidized. Sweet mouldy, caramel and cellar. Quite rotten with some tart cherry notes in the end. Over the hill . .

Sampled on draught at the Brasserie V in Madtown: Pours a murky brown colour with a HUGE tan head. Aroma is sort of sour, yeasty with bready malts and cinnamon on the nose. Taste is sort of tart but rich, flavors all around, nuts, pear and citrus notes.

From tap at De Heks, Deventer. Pours almost clear and golden orange to amber with a lacing white head. Solid phenolic aroma. Mild malty flavoured with a mild caramel to toffee base flavour. Smooth light finish.

Draught, 8.0%. Clear grey brown colour. Good stable creamy tan head. The flavour is sweet, a little sugary. Thin for ABV.

(Draught@In De Wildeman) Clear amber with a small, lasting and lacy head. Very mild aroma with some caramel and vegetably hints. Sweetish and grainy, caramely flavor with some alcoholic feel, and low bitterness. Medium body with low carbonation. Slightly plasticky, very boring, and a bit alcoholic brew.
