Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a huge white head. Aroma is quite spicy, slightly alcoholic and some yeast and fruits also. Also some slight sugary sweet notes. Flavour is bigtime fruits, spices and some yeast. Mild acidicness, and leaves a dry palate. Pleasantly balanced and quite easy to drink.

Draught, 6.5% at ZBF08. Hazy yellow colour. Nice big, creamy white head. Mild flavour, a little anisy spice. Quite drinkable.

Slightly hazy dark straw. Herbal-lemon balm, coriander leaf nose is slightly hoppy and yeast. Fun. Palate is dynamic but still shows some pepper notes. Lots of perfumey coriander. Not bad balance. Finishes herbal and with a dryness that shows gin, hop and alcohol. Interesting, approachable abbey ale.
