Can. Amber color. Pineapple and a hint of toffee in the aroma. Citric, slightly oily hopbitter flavor with hints of caramel and plums. Thinnish, a slight hint of metal. Decent.
Fluffy yellowish head, medium, leaving shards of lace over orangey foxy-amber beer. Caramel, syrup, orangepeel, molasses, Grand Marnier Orange - quite sweet aromas, all. Bitterish to bitter, orangezeste, faintly spicy, bit dry. Hoppiness retronasal. Medium bodied, quite slick. Not very exhilarating.
Can. Grassy buttery toffee malt aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Sweet buttery toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal orange peel flavor. Nice body. A well above average amber ale.
Can: Clear , copper-amber with a thick, yellow-tan head. Caramel malt, vanilla aroma. Lightly toasted caramel malt, bread taste.....slightly dusty. Pretty simple.....a bit of dry, spicy hopping. Not bad.

Sampled @ Gents Bierfestival 2015 Trübes orangegoldenes Bier mit einer geringen weißen Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr malzig, sehr hopfig, Karamell, harzig. Geschmack sehr malzig, Karamell, floral hopfig bitter.
Pours nice clear amber, persistent white-beige head that is leaving beautiful lacings. Lots of bubbles and high carbonation. Aroma has a strong malt backbone, malt sweetness, toffee - but feels also nicely fresh. Taste is simple but brilliant - hops are building on the malty and sturdy base, making the beer feel like a small meal. Nicely hoppy small meal. Bit heavy for the abv but overall has nice clean flavours and I quite like it.
