A hazy orange beer with a nice creamy off-white head. The aroma is very spicy and sharp - I can’t really pick out the individual parts - but I pick up honey and grapefruit. The flavor is weird - a lot of wheat and a lot of spices - though I can’t pick them out - not even the gooseberries. The mouthfeel is very smooth and the end dry and a bit watery.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy orangey golden with a small, white head. Some yeast sediment and impurities. Weak berry aroma - or perhaps rather herbal?? Medium body and sweetish malty with a vague touch of fruit. Limited bitterness. Superfluous. 270806

50 cL bottle. Pours almost clear to pale yellow with a lacing white head. Light lemonish aroma and mild herbal. Herbal and light spice flavour with a minor lemon twist. Ends with a smooth yeasty note and more lime-ish citric flavour.

Bottle. Golden yellow color with a very small white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Some meadowsweet, gooseberries, fruitiness in the flavour.

Bottled (Thanks tbone_!). Golden colour, small white head. Strong salad and berries in aroma, along with some hints of hops. Flavour is dry gooseberryish. with hints of hops and some wheat. Very crispy and refreshing beer. Surely quite "alternative" to much I’ve had before. Rating #1700.

Bottled. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of malts. Fruity flavour of malts, caramel and hops. Hoppy finish.
