Tap @ Lammetjesdag, Wapen van Bloemendaal. Cloudy copper to brown color, medium off-white head. Aroma of spicy belgian yeast, also a bit spicy from grains or flowery additives. I’m not a fan of spicy beers, but this one actually is quite nicely balanced. Flavor has soft sweetness together with soft bitterness, spiced up with the belgian yeast, but not too much. Decent stuff.
