On tap at Café Belgique, Amsterdam.
Poured dark orange/golden colour with medium sized white head and pleasant fruity nose. Yeasty, fruity sweetness, coriander and some berries with notes of spices. Alcohol is light noticeable in the finish. Again nice beer from ’t IJ.

Bottled at Gollem, Amsterdam. Perfumy, yeasty and sour aroma in combination with a hefty salty bitterness in the flavour makes this a highly interesting beer from ’t IJ.

On tap @ Café Belgique. Hazy golden orange, big white head. Smell of coriander, IJ yeast funk, spices. Taste is sublime, but rather sharp. Some fruity sweetness first, but then really dry and bitter, with a very bitter aftertaste. A lot of citrus/grapefruit in there too. Bottle @ Café Gollem: Tastes pretty much the same, but with a tad less bitterness and more yeasty funkiness. mIJ favourite!

Courtesy of Yespr. It’s a slightly hazy and very beautiful, warm orange-golden beer with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast in a very harsh way, making it difficult for me to find much else than yeast. The flavour has sweetness, notes of spice, a light harshness, loads of yeasty notes and a dry, slightly citrussy finish. This simply isn’t my kind of beer, but I can see a lot of others love it.

Draft at Cafe Belgique in Amsterdam. Murky dark orange body with a tan head. Big nose of old fruit - aged peaches, old blood oranges, etc, along with candy sugar and some toast and dough. Alcohol is noticeable even for 7%. Creamy and rich up front, sweetening and strengthening over the middle, with a small bite in the finish.
