Slight gushing to good, dense & persistent dirty-yellowish head over straw-ochre beer, hazy, very well-carbonated, and leaving classic lace. Utterly malty nose, caramel, summer grain, sweet but with a distinct natural, honeyish aroma. Dry-grainy, malty without (much) sweetness, slight cardboard flavour, stale hazelnut oil, but all in all decent. There is a difficult to pinpoint, but undeniable light bitterness. Quite reasonable balance, palate doesn’t suffer from the cardboard flavour anymore. Pretty good beer, certainly for such a light one. Used to be different, stronger (6.5%), probably akin to the Double Enghien series, today my guess is unfiltered Super 64.

Cloudy amber with a medium white head. Metallic aroma with hints of malt and hops. Flavour had toasted malt, caramel, fruits and grassy hops. Finished dry and bitter.
