Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours pale, hazy yellow with a medium creamy white head. Quickly becomes a thin film. Aroma is very wit-like, good sweetness from wheat (or is that spelt?), light citric. Quite high carbonation. Soft flavour, quite sweet, good presence of mltiness.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy and pale yellow with a lasting white head. Citric and wheaty/spelt aroma. Light coriander note. Flavour is light wheaty/spelt flavoured. Light spiced and citric. Ends slight acidic and dry with a mild estery note.

Hazy golden with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with yeasty and wheat notes. Flavor has wheat, orange peel and yeast notes.

330 ml bottle. Hazy, pale golen body with a medium and lively white head. Refreshing aroma of yeast, spices and esters. Flavor is refreshing as well, fruity, spicy and a bit acidulous. I have sampled this beer a few times now, and the ratings are varying quite much. Score from a 750 ml bottle where quite low. Best rating from a stored 330 ml bottle is basic for this rating.

Bottle, 25 cl. (bouht at Willems and now @ Hopduvel) Taste this more times at 2007 and last days again. Hazy yellow-golden color, huge white head. Aroma bit sweet + herby, some yeast, fruity. Medium body. Taste sweet, grainy, hops, malts finish. Good.

75cL bottle. First half of the bottle pours a crystal clear yellow with big fluffy white foam, second half is chunky and chock full of fizzy quick dying foam. Push. Aroma is slightly dust with some notes of tropical fruit. Flavor is a bit oxidized with some nice dusty yeast notes and more of the subtle tropical fruit. Very light bodied and a bit lacking in carbonation.

750ml corked and caged bottle. Served in a blvd chalice. Popped the cork and the carbonation level is way too low, this might not bode well for this beer. It is flat. Golden color. Aroma is earthy, spicy, with a pronounced cork & cellar aroma. Taste is spicy, earthy, with the same cork & cellar flavor along with some bright fruity notes. Wish it had carbonation.
