Courtesy of bierkoning, thanx Edo!!!
The beer in the glass is pale yellow and very cloudy, with a high, soapy head that disappears very quickly. It smells yeasty and fruity-sweet, slightly alcoholic in the background. Starts with a fizzy carbonation. Creamy and yeasty aroma, very fruity, well-balanced sweet and bitter, with some citrus in the background. The middle part is yeasty and fruity, subtly sweet bready and grainy. Finish is very bready and yeasty-sweet.

Bottle 33cl. Thanks to bierkoning! Pours a murky orange colour with good foam and carbonation. Strong citrus like aroma, some yeast there too. Flavour is of an average white-beer, nothing too extraordinary.

Bottle 330ml.

Bottle, 7%. Very spicy aroma, woodruff and coriander. Cloudy golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is nicely spicy, like the aroma, but also seems like a good spicy hop. Good teaish finish. A good beer, but 7% seems a bit much, even though I cannot really taste it.
