A slightly cloudy, light yellow beer with a weak and blond head. Nice aroma, fruits, some tropical fruits, citrusfruits, pine, biscuity malts and some saison like spicyness. Taste of biscuity malts, fruits, drying herbal hops with some spicyness. Quite light and fresh to drink, typical. Interesting and complex beer with nuancees from Golden Ale, Pale Ale and Belgian Ale.

Bottle 750ml.

ABV: 4.5%. Light unclear medium yellow orange colour with a average, frothy and open, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, pale malt, light to moderate hoppy, citrus - riped citrus, soap, light butter. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a long duration, fruity hops, dry, riped citrus - orange. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20121218]

Birra giallo leggermente velato, poca schiuma, al naso floreale a agrumato con pompelmo in primo piano, in bocca scorre via liscia, beverina per lasciare un amaro piacevole e non esagerata che richiamo il prossimo sorso..

Pours cloudy yellow with a decent head. Grassy , but not overly strong aroma. Flavors of citrous, and apricot, also a bit hopppy. Really enjoyed this beer.

Bella da vedersi, uno splendido color oro leggermente velato con schiuma che svanisce in fretta. Al naso un leggero speziato con punte di agrumi. In bocca davvero dissetante, e finemente eqiulibrata.

Advent Calendar #12. Highly carbonated like soda. Quite light, but not in a bad way, somewhat elegant. Malt/hop balance leans towards malt than typical out here, I enjoyed it, nothing off. Bitter finish.

Pours a gold yellow colour with a huge, persistent off-white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast, sweet malts, and citrus. Tastes of ripe fruit, bready yeast, and is on the sweeter side. Not much bitterness to this beer. Lively carbonation, medium body. Soft, lightly sweet finish.

Bottle, Dec 12th Beer Advent Calendar. Medium golden, average white head that retains well. Aroma initially is very unappealing-- tinned pineapple, heavy on the tin. But halfway through it dawned on me that the beer was smelling much better, lightly fruity and grainy. Flavour is softly fruity biscuity grains, maybe apricots, I don’t know for sure, light bready yeast, with a surprisingly bitter finish. Quite tasty actually.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a big white head that dissipates into a white hat. Aroma is interesting its a sweet citrus smell like apricots, oranges & lemon. Taste is some soft apricot then a kick of hop bitterness and some lime. Great mix of flavors but the carbonation is a bit high. Great apa overall though.

(33cl bottle) 2012 Advent Calendar. Pours a quick dissipating white frothy head atop a cloudy yellow body. Nose of spice, hop bitterness and slight grain. Very nicely balanced - lots of hop flavour and malt base for such a light beer. Great spicy yeasty finish. A classy brew.
