gEUS (129) - Linden, BELGIUM - FEB 21, 2012
33 cl bottle - pours yellow-golden with huge white head. Nose: floral, grassy with citrus notes, pale malt, yeast. Very freh mouthfeel, with lots of floral notes. Bitterness comes at the finish and lasts for a long time.

Pours hazy light, almost no foam. Very yeasty nose, some pineapple and pear notes (esters). Very thin bubbles first, basic malt flavours and basic hop flavours too, not exciting. Palate is very foamy that is so strange for such a light and soft ale. At that alcohol level I would except something more crispy and refreshing.

Bottle. Hazy yellow/orange color with a minimal foamy white head. Smells like a wheat beer. Taste is slightly bitter with yeast and fruits. Dry on palate.

Troebel met grote bubbels. Gouden kleur; zowel neus, smaak bevatten vooral bittere hop (maar wie zich daarover zet proeft ook een citrusfrisse smaak). Erg lange nasmaak: mijn tafelgenoten zaten na één proefslok tien minuten te zoeken naar iets om de smaak weg te spoelen. Ik vind vooral het lage alcoholpercentage erg fijn.

Martinus (669) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - FEB 9, 2012
Slightly hazy orange beer, creamy white head. Citrus aroma, hops, slight malts and spicy yeast. Bitter hoppy flavour, quite dry, light malts. Bit on the thin side, but quite full flavour when considering it’s only 4,5% ABV. Very clean and refreshing. Nice one!
(From 33cL bottle @ De Kleine Nachtmuziek, Brugge)

très bonne légère bière avec une bonne amertume qui reste bien en bouche agréable

Ahh...so nice to drink a hoppy beer that semi reminds me of an IPA while living in Germany. I picked this bottle up in Belgium and it’s very nice. Not much head on the pour and a lighter color. The smell comes off like a belgium but the taste has little/none of the sweetness of a double, trippel or blonde. As mentioned by others, some citrus happening here and a roasted taste. I am really enjoying it...glad I bought 2!
