Thank you Tom/After4ever. Warm golden with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast, vanilla, coriander and other spices. The flavour is sweet with notes of coriander, vanilla and other spices, papaya and yeast. It’s very Belgian, but at the same time American. It’s possible to buy it here too now, but it’s not one I’ll buy again.

75 cl bottle: Pours unclear orange with an egg whie head that lasts. Aroma is sweet fruity orange, yeasty, herbal, matured malty & slight spicy - very complex & amazing. Taste is very spicy - coriander, alcohol & yeast. Warming feel. Soft & filling body with a long finish! Dope!

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph. Pours a wonderful cobbery orange with a smallish fizzy off white head that soon ends up as a thin film. Aroma is sweet and biscuity with lots of oranges (both sweet and tart) and some butter. Other spices mix up well to create as sweet, but intoxicating aroma. Carbonation is soft with lots of small bubbles and a very chewy palate. Flavour is vinious, has biscuits, light fruity tartness with coriander clearly present. A very long, cloying aftertaste with a clear sweetness, but there is a great balance with the spices.

Pours a hazy golden with a slight amount of creamy white head. A light fruit and heavy yeast aroma. Flavor is heavy on corriander and yeast. Light bits of hops in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of fermented fruit, coriander and yeast. Has a nice sweet taste of spices, caramel, and oranges. Very nice brew that is complex with many flavors yet remains well balanced.
