Jun 19, 2009 Updated: Jun 23, 2009750 ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam) shared with Mirjukka and Janne - thanks!
Slight gusher. Deep hazy orange. Floral and fruity aroma, spicy. Very lively carbonation. Big hoppy bite too - it really tingles in the mouth. Acidity quite high - a really good aperitif with both that and the 8% alcohol (which isn’t noticeable at all). The body’s quite a simple maltiness, a touch grainy and some pleasant herby spiciness all in good balance. However, it’s the hops that are to the fore. Shame about the fizz, otherwise this would be heavenly in the mouth.

Jun 14, 2009 2003 vintage. Bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts modest sweet, quite spicy. Reminds me of sorrel. Finish still spicy, a bit sourish, lets me think of a spontaneous fermented beer. Very good. Thanks to Koelschtrinker for sharing this beer with me!

Jun 6, 2009 Updated: Jul 24, 2009Flaske: Flot orange klar øl med et fint lille skum. Duften er forfærdelig af kål og en tendens til bræk. Smagen er bedre, men den manglende karbonering gør det til et drain pour. Er overrasket over at den faktisk scorer så højt hos mig.

Jun 6, 2009 Spring 2003 bottle @ Delirium. The bartender told originally told us this one was gone, but he managed to find it right before we were going to leave. Extra beer = good. Pours orange with a moderate-sized white head. Aroma is somewhat sweet, maybe oranges in there? Taste includes a tinge of oxidation, floral notes and a bit of Fantome sourness as well. Drinks easy and finishes slightly sour and floral. Good stuff.

May 12, 2009 SpringsLicker’s Fish Fry. Sample from a bottle thanks to brentfeesh. 2004 bottle. Clear red orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is herbal, light pale malts, and a hint of sourness. Taste is a light funk, soft mouthfeel and another hint of souring.

May 2, 2009 Sampled at Springslicker’s Fish Fry ’09. Opaque burnt orange pour with good off-white head. Sweet and horse-blankety. Sticky. Very soft body and a fairly creamy. Pretty damn good for a saison.

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle at the ’09 Fish Fry. Pours muddy orange with big ecrue head. The aroma is spicy with lavender and lots of floral notes (including a particular tone that I can only assume is dandelion). The flavor is floral and earthy with some plantiness. It’s a little bit sweeter than I expected. Weird, but good.
