Golden coloured, a medium head, sticks nice to the glass, but colapse a bit to quick to 0.5cm head. Smell is sweet-earthy. Some alcohol, good spices. Taste isn’t bad. Nice yeast inside, some spices, lightly citrus. Pretty decent balanced, but misses something extra. Better then expected.

Off-white head, fast receding over orange-tinted golden beer. Sweet nose, white candi sugar, CO² intoned, grains and pale malts, slightly flowery & grassy. Alcohol warming up. Much drier taste, spiced grains, bit of Kümmel, and garden herbs. Rather nice, but warming spoils it a bit in the way of sweetness, alcohol coming on. Creamy MF, alleviated by a spritzy carbonation; maybe medium bodied. Bit neutral overall, but in its genre a rather nice blonde. I just fear it’s not the kind of thing you want in your hipflask if you’re doing a forced march...

Bottle. Tanks to Peter in Belgium.
Pours hazy golden and has a small bubbly white head. Aroma is little grassy, banana and yeast. Flavor is fresh from hops, yeast and sweet marmalade.
