Cloudy orange with a yellow tinted head that doesn’t last long. No lace. Aroma is hay and gooseberries. Sweet palate like barley candy with chamomille, dried apricot, and a reedy/woody element. Surprisingly bitter finish. Alcohol is completely hidden-- there is no way I would guess this at 9%. Not a bad beerwhen you study it, but it somehow fails to equal the sum of its parts. Just not very tasty I guess.

33cl bottle at Gollem, Amsterdam, 12-3-07. Hazy orange with a small white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of cantaloupe. tastes like fresh fruit salad, with hops that add flavor but little bitterness. Sweet, but not in a sugary way. Some yeast and spice compliment. Medium palate with smooth carbonation. Feels very light and refreshing for its strength.

Bottle at yespr’s place. One of those that I was sure I has rated as I knew I has had a bottle. Thanks Jesper. Pours a nice hazy amber-brown colour with a big head. Aroma of toasted malt, fruits and caramel. Good mothfeel. The flavour is sweet with toasted caramel and malt, spices, fruits and some yeast. Nice spiced toasty bitter finish.

Draught at the brewpub.
Pours a orange amber colour with small white head and fresh fruity nose. The aroma is malty, fruity and slight yeasty with notes of alcohol and spices. Some sediment at the bottom. Very good beer for the beginning of my Amsterdam beer hunt.
