harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England May 1, 2006 Bottle at Reading BF 06. Rich gold with sediment in suspension. I was told that is was a rarity and that a Dutchman at the festival had taken a bottle because he couldn’t get it back home. Rounded yeast citrus aroma. Bit too fizzy, but the tangerine is lovely. Nice beer. Its a bit like Rowntree’s tangerine jelly.
Borresteijn (721), Amstelveen, Netherlands Dec 8, 2008 Bottle at Arendsnest. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of fruits, yeast, spices, mostly cloves and coriander. Flavour is sweet and spicy with a slightly bitter fruity finish. Decent tripel, but very average. yespr (8540), Copenhagen O, Denmark Dec 2, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is mild yeast fruity and light earthy. Vague metallic flavoured with a mix of fruity yeasty and caramel malty flavours. Mild spiced. Smooth malty and yeasty finish, light sweetness lasting on the tongue. rkuhnel (1232), Eureka, California, USA Oct 31, 2008 I asked the waiter if they had anything unusual and found this in a small eating place in Paris. Poured a cloudy orange with a cream head. Big nose of ripe fruits and some citrus. Nice mouthfeel. Lots of rich flavors and a bitter finish. Very interesting and a great find. SHIG (1731), Oberoffligen, Germany Oct 30, 2008 Bottle: Poured a orange with carbonation sound as it filled the glass, head was white. Aroma seemed piney and berry fruit. Taste was cereal and light fruit pebbles. Balanced enough to enjoy. Dry bitterish finished. NoiZe (1055), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Sep 30, 2008 Orange colored brew. Aroma is spicy, coriander, yeast, some fruits. Flavor is buttery, yeasty, some herbs and some notes of fruit. Overall it’s a pleasant, almost creamy, buttery texture. Nice.
