Has a very smooth, creamy malty feel and flavour. It’s a bit plain but unoffensive and easy to drink.

300 ml bottle, poured into a tulip glass. ABV 5.2% Sort of pale golden colour on the body, with a disappointing half finger of white head. Foam has minimal retention and disappears really fast, leaving just a thin line eventualy around the glass but no lacing. Aroma of dough/cookies and yeast, somewhat pleasant but quite faint. Somewhere on the very back, a slight hops smell. Slight bitter taste at first,becomes a tiny bit more bitter once the hops kick in, with a medium finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Besides the initial diappointment once I saw the minimal head and in spite of the faint smell and sort of ordinary taste, this was good. Not great, but good.

33cl bottle via a friend. Decent white head. Hazy blond pour. An ok blond beer.

Slightly hazy blond, small white head. Uninteresting beer, drinkable but nothing special. Rather high carbo.
