nothing really special and aged too much i think ...

Bottle at The Hill, Birmingham. Not sure if this is labelled the same as the one I had but anyhow... Very smooth, yellow Belgian lager, which is pleasnt without ever being challenging or exciting. The flavour is of butter or cake mixture, and slides down the throat without hitting any tastebuds. Not particularly fizzy, or different from many other brews.

(33cl bottle) Pours a yellow, particulate body with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, minerals, and earthiness. Flavor of earth, yeast, minerals, subtle fruit, alcohol, and corn.

Almost underattenuated and grainy nose with notes of corn syrup and curacao. Fast dissipating realease of gases with poor head retention. Corn syrup and grain again on the palate with mild white fruit. Sweet and lingering finish

Bottled(330ml). -Golden coloured, lively carbonation, small white head, odd eggy/cheesy nose. The taste is almost the same, eggy/cheesy, yeasty and mild fruity. Quite thin overall. Like you take good Belgian beer and than dilute with water.

Bottle. With this name it’s got to be good, right? Bright dark gold. White head is pretty thick. The aroma is very sweet and candy-like. Melon or apple candy. Artificial fruit aroma and quite a plastic one. The palate is sticky. The flavors are different from the aromas. Enters sweet and apply. then has a bitter finish. Unpleasant, but does finish drier than the aromas let on. Has a malt liquor-like character in the flavors that is familiar. I can actually taste some hops!
