Pours white-orangey with a short head. Nice yeasty, orange smell (I’m sure undeclared orange peel added) also some hop-citrus smell. Nice malty flavor, enveloped in generous hop bittering. Overall better than average, rather nice. Cheers!

Pours a hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, highly alcoholic, citrus.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Belgian yeast and slightly bready malt-character with subtle notes of citrus. Mildly sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly bready (cara-)malty taste with notes of baking yeast and a moderately bitter hoppy bite towards the finish, accompanied by delicately spicy notes. 01.X.11
