330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009)
Rich gold, large spongy head. Apple and blackcurrant aroma, light and sour. Frothy carbonation - fizzes in the mouth and tingles the tongue. Sweet caramel and grainy body, a little bit of roast, and some husks too. Some cleaning fluid appears in the aroma when the yeast is added. It softens the taste a bit. Rather uninspiring, but certainly not unpleasant. Covers 8% quite well.
