bierkoning (5077), La Tropica, Netherlands Nov 21, 2008 Bottle, bought @ de Bierkoning. Orange color, hazy. Citrus hopbitter flavor, with some earthy and grassy notes. A slight tartness. Indifferent aroma, but the beer does taste really well. Ober (523), Best, Netherlands Nov 20, 2008 A hazy yellow/orange colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of malts, fruits like citrus and orange. The taste is hop bitter, with malts and fruits. There are little spices with some sweets. The aftertaste is light bitter, which lingers on for a while. yespr (7777), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 1, 2008 From tap at Arendsnest. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a fully diminished white head. Spiced and wheaty aroma. More intense spiced in the flavour and with a nice fruity citrusy wheaty base flavour to this. Nice hoppy finish with a light fruity note along with a good level of bitterness. MiP (6273), Flensburg, Germany Oct 28, 2008 Draught, 5.6% as Otter Strong Bitter. Weak fruity aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Small, strangely clumpy head. The flavour is OK fruity, slightly spicy with a good alcohol level. sayravai (3224), Helsinki, Finland Sep 25, 2008 (Draught@Arendsnest) Very hazy orange with a large, firm head. Slightly aromatic-nutty-hoppy nose with grainy maltiness and wet-cardboardy hints. Aromatic-nutty-hoppy flavor with smoky hints and bready-grainy-honeyish maltiness. Almost medium body, medium carbonation. A somewhat original interpretation of bitter, but not the most pleasant one. Drinkable and ok, though.
