750ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with amber highlights and a white head. Citrus and spice on the nose with some candi sugar and bread. Odd lemony taste with tons of bubbles. Medium body. Finishes.....weird.

courtesy of oh6gdx - cloudy blond-orange colour with a little foam left; estery with notes of citrus, grapefruit and candy sugar, decently hoppy, medium-bodied; sharp carbonation, finishes a bit short and quite dry; long estery and fruity finish

Poured clear to slight hazy straw with white head, aroma had notes of grass, biscuit, some earthy notes with a touch of lemon in there as well. Taste was easy drinking grass and pine with a hint of orange and lemon, some biscuit and earthy notes, touch of straw and grainy-ness to it, finishing slightly bitter. Not bad.

500ml Bottle: Aroma of pale malt, Belgian yeast, straw, and some citrus. Poured yellow in color with a large, loose, fizzy, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malt, Belgian yeast, slight spice, and some citrus. Light to medium body. Tingly, gassy, then lightly dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Lightly sweet, malt, yeast, slight spice, citrus finish.

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light to medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with light notes of lemon zest, pepper. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Well, it certainly pushes the envelope for subtlety. Despite having a meek aroma, light body, and mild flavor profile, it’s still clean and pleasant and balanced. I wouldn’t quite call it bland, but honestly there’s just not a whole lot going on here.

Bottle. Aroma has notes of citrus, lemon, green apple, Belgian yeast and wood. Cloudy pale yellow hue. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is average. Overall an average brew.

Bevuta in bottiglia, birra chiara con un colore molto limpido e schiuma di grana media molto abbondante. Al naso si sentono note fruttate e al palato il malto che lascia un leggero retrogusto di amaro.

Assaggiata in bottiglia da 75 cl. Aspetto paglierino opaco con schiuma che svanisce rapidamente. L’aroma mi pare poco significativo mentre il gusto è un poco più caratterizzato. Ci sono sentori freschi, di agrumi, e si sente il luppolo di fondo. Nel complesso si lascia bere anche se non desta un grossa impressione. Diciamo che le premesse (la bottiglia dalla splendida forma, l’etichetta curatissima) erano sicuramente di alto livello; alla prova dei fatti si aspetta di più...
