The aroma is very spicy with notes of lemongrass, coriander, and more. The color is a clear orange and it has an enormous white head. The flavor is also spicy with notes of coriander, cloves, citrus, and a very subtle grassy hoppy end.

An ample body of fresh wort enlivens the panoramic hops...Perspicacious caramel plays off the freshness and creates balance...A torrent of simple, nascent vivacity rushes over the tastebuds...

Pineapple and malt in the aroma. A slight malty sweetness in the flavor. Nutty. Some bitterness with a hint of toast. Bitter aftertaste with a kind of bitterness I can't get my hands on. Tannine maybe. A hint of caramel. Well made beer.

Foxy amber; thin creamy, cream-coloured head. Nose with biscuit, oxydised, caramalt, sugar syrup and, somehow, cumin. Very little hint of bitterness and a touch of acidity over an outspoken malt taste, sweet and caramel. A bit oxydation, some esters. Gets soupy warming up. Well-bodied. A bit velvety, even sticky. Again some bitterness in the aftertaste, even hoppy after all. I get an impression of hop oil. A strange beer. Not exactly my cuppa... beer. There is not much wrong, neither - maybe fresh hops?

Bottled. Cloudy orange with creamy head. Balsamic vinegar aroma. Fruity, rounded and malty. Some cherry in the finish. Complex and tasty.

Dark fruits prominent in aroma along with a tangy zest, licorice, pepper and spice. Well spiced flavor, very peppery, warming spice sensation and citric hoppiness.

Malty aroma, some spices. Orange coloured. Not much head. Bit weak, smooth taste. Some spices, hops and malts. Refreshing ale.

Bottle. Brownish tea color with minimal head. A spiced cherry aroma that doesn't carry as well into the flavor The flavor has a more subdued apple and malt character with a faint toasted malt aftertaste.
