JorisPPattyn (6728) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - DEC 12, 2004
Pale golden, good whitish rim. Little spicey nose (heather blossom), honey and nutmeg. In the taste, fine honeyish flavour and maybe coriander, neither very marked however. Light bodied, not fizzy but very well carbonated. Good, but not really great.
