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

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...

A very pleasant surprise. Pretty blond/amber colour with a good head. Wonderful aroma with hops, herbs, spices and some citrus. The flavour is very spicy and has a pleasantly refreshing bitterness. I will buy some more of this next time I visit Belgium.

Bottle. Light sweet smell of cakes and bread. Also a little bit of wine. The large white creamy head has a long duration. The body is in a nice shining red, reminds me of an lemonade... The taste is in the beginning a little bit sweet, then it gets sour with a long duration. Only light malty, also only some soft spots of hops. The body is light to medium strong, a little bit creamy and dry. Some carbonation. A very nice beer, a well balanced taste.

Cloudy amber color thick solid white head. Faint hefeweizen yeast aroma. Crisp palate with citrus pumpin flavor but some musty yeastiness.

Bottle @ Samson, Nijmegen. Pours a lightly hazy red amber with a small creamy white head that becomes a thin film. Aroma has berries and caramel. Quite high carbonation and very fresh. Flavour is sweet, spicy with a little berries (is it strawberries?). Dries out well at the end. Very good and fresh.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Deep amber colour with mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is tropical fruits, nectar, caramel malts, some slight nuttyness as well as yeast. Flavour is caramel malts, some syrup, fruits, yeast and liquorice. Mild notes of some flowery hops as well. Pleasant and balanced brew.
