padrefan98 (659), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jun 20, 2008 On draft at Torornado in San Diego. Flavors of clove and some spice. Very good.
Skinnyviking (2971), Copenhagen, Denmark Nov 29, 2008 Bottle. High fluffy and long lasting white head. Slighly hazy yellow body. Alcohol dominated fruity aroma of mainly lemon with notes of coriander. Highly carbonated fruity flavor with lemon and coriander. Alcohol well hidden. Long aftertaste. DA (2586), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Nov 28, 2008 From the bottle pours a lightly cloudy gold with a tall white head. Very floral nose of dried apricot and esters. Sweeter palate, while still a good carbonation to it. Lots of fruity sweetness throughout, almost a touch buttery in the finish. Quite a bit of hot booziness to the finish. larsniclas (3079), Gothenburg, Sweden Nov 28, 2008 [Bottled]
Slightly hazy golden with a white head.
Aroma with marcipan.
Pretty much of grassy hops in the flavour. A bit too much alco-feel. heavy (536), Split, Croatia Nov 27, 2008 02/11 0.75 l bottle @ Hopdevil pub, Zagreb, shared with Doggythedog. 2008 vintage, of course. It poured slightly murky golden body with medium sized head. Strong and impressive yeasty aroma with banana,orange, tart, a bit of sour apples and hints of other spices like cinnamon. Flavor was pleasantly malty, sweetish caramel and cookies, but also slightly sourish for notable hops. Yeast is obvious as well. However, I must admit it misses some body. Long, slightly sweet cookie and vanilla finish rounds the beer to higher level than my expectations were. Carolus series of Het Anker didn’t disappoint again. Very nice beer, but not nearly as its dark brother. What a big four brews in a row! m4rest88 (107), Beverly Hills, California, USA Nov 27, 2008 Pours with a large fizzy and frothy head. The aroma is so strong on this beer that it can be smelled permeating the air from a good 6 feet away. The smell is largely of yeast, citrus, and a tad bit of alcohol if one smells very carefully.
Sweetish alcohol fruity taste all the way through
Medium mouthfeel with very light carbonation
Not a bad brew. Thanks to bman1113vr for sharing a bottle with me!
Looking forward to trying the blue one soon.
