Bottle. Pours a hazy deep orange colour with a huge creamy well lasting beige head leaving a very nice lacing. Sweetish aroma of fruits, spices, herbs, yeast and orange. Sweet spiced toasty flavour with herbs indeed along with dark fruits, yeast, bitter hops, toasted malt and citrus. Quite bitter spiced long lasting finish. Superb!

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with firm huge off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of orange peel and clove. Fruity, spicy taste with clove, cardamom, dark citrus, orange peel and grapefruit. Heavy citrussy bitterness in the finish with notes of bitter almond. Rather sweet, full body. Great beer with a powerful, hoppy and spicy character.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy dark orange body. Coriander oranges aroma. Pretty spicy, mainly coriander, and hoppy dry barley malt aroma with a low carbonation and a long dry bitter aftertaste. Definately different and a nice surprise.

Cloudy amber colour, big fluffy stable head. Many spices and herbs in the aroma, cloves, coriander, citrus. Flavour is bitter, malty, with a lot of spices and herbs as well. Finishes bitter. Had to get used to the aroma and taste, but once it settled, I can appreciate this one.

330ml bottle at Gollem, Amsterdam, 10/02/07. Pours a cloudy mid-amber with a large, short-lived head. The aroma is very clean - very nice mix of citrus, floral and straw scents. The flavour delivers on the promise with a good hoppy bitterness that carries through to the aftertaste. Light and drinkable, but I feel that the alcohol is a bit too apparent and in my opinion, stops this being truly great.
