Frothy, finely bubbled white head over copperish-golden, clear beer. Bit oxydized nose, malty, very faintly spiced, notes of springblossoms. Bitterish-spicy onset, going over in honeyish-floral taste, never really sweet. Unbalanced impression, again some signs of oxydation. Spritzy, light body, slick. Not bad - strange. Signs of aging everywhere; nose, taste, and even the tatty looking label, bearing the sign 2000... But the crowncork indicates it’s still ’good’ for another 7 months... ??

33cl, exclusive brew, from De Bierloods Adegem, not complex brew, malty and slightly floral/sweet, easy to drink, balanced, hazy, good head, simple brew
