bottle 375 ml from GBBF 2009. Thank you JanneK. Golden orange, white lacing head. Interesting wooden kick in first sip heavy malty and then strong floral hops in aftertaste astringing slightly dry finish. The best of my recent after sauna beers. Imbossible to compare with other woods in this serie.

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle at GBBF 2009, 4th August 09. Hazy orange amber. Wonderful aroma of lychee and mandarin oranges. Similar sharp citrus flavours and a sensible weight with the strength exceptionally well hidden. Very impressive.

Dec 25, 2009 Cloudy golden with a small off-white head. Vineous hop aroma, with a little oak. Dry and hoppy flavour with noticable tannins and a lasting drying bitterness. Honestly I had a hard time picking up noticable differences in a side-by-side-by-side-by-side.

Dec 23, 2009 (Bottled) Hazy orange with a medium, frothy head. Exotic-fruity aroma with Nelson Sauvin clearly present, also floweriness and Belgian notes. Flavor is exotic-fruity with some pine-woody, citrusy notes (from the barrel?), and a touch of Belgian yeast. Not much bitterness, but lots of aromatic hops. Some astringent, woody notes in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation, alcohol well hidden. Pleasant, aromatic, exotic-fruity, not too sharp, I like.

Nov 28, 2009 Bottle @ GBBF: Aromas of sticky feet, dry mango and sweet nectarine. In the mouth you are attacked by a crazy sweet/sour mango/banana which subsides to (including but not strictly limited to) pineapple, garbage juice, creamy stilton and vanilla yoghurt. A weird brew. Not sickening but vaguely unpleasant.

Nov 8, 2009 Corked bottle. Orange blonde, hazy. Pineapple, melon, lychee, wood and lime in the aroma. Alcoholic flavor with lots of wood, lime, melon and lychee. Malty. The beer reamains (too) alcoholic, but the wood and the layers of fruit improve the complexity of this beer.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottled. Hazy amber color. Pungent grapefruity hop aroma. Bitter and grapefruity flavor with white wine, mustard and yeast. Bitter, mentholy yeasty and woody finish. Better than the base but this still too pungent and yeasty. There is certainly a woody mouthfeel but the aroma and flavor is very hop-forward.
