FatPhil (2090), Espoo, Finland Aug 6, 2008 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Caramelly brown, small tight head. Initially a little lagery malty aroma, but that sweetens to become more bocky and a little fruity after a while. Sweet almost sherbetty body, good carbonation, very crisp. That crispness is highlighted by the spiky throbbing hoppiness. Slight alcoholic hit, but well within acceptable bounds. Sweet malty body helps keep the hop spike grounded. Decent hoppy finish. Just what I needed after nearly a week of abstinence! Ober (289), Best, Netherlands Aug 1, 2008 An yellow/amber colored beer with a off white head. The aroma is malty and sweet of caramel and some fruits. The taste is fruity of orange, a little hop and malt. A sweet aftertaste. Borresteijn (509), Amstelveen, Netherlands Jul 23, 2008 Bottle @ home. Dark golden colour, white head. Nose of citrus, hops and malts. Taste is malty sweet, little hops, some citrus. This is not the sweetness I like in a beer. TaxiDriver (480), Stadland, Germany Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Quite hoppy, flowery, light citrus, moderate malty, like fresh bread. Small white creamy head, rather fast disappearing. Clear orange body. Medium duration, medium sweet and light acidic. Light to medium body, dry and creamy texture, lively carbonation. Nice one. gmonroe10 (112), Netherlands Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light body light amber, with a sickly looking offwhite head that rapidly goes down. Nose is a sweet metallic. Taste is sweet quickly taken over by the bitter of the hops. Fast hoppy finish.
