3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very dense, creamy yellowish head, leaving lace over clear copper-golden beer with Grünstich. Pale malts abound and a fine "Herb" touch, probably referring to the hops used. Very hoppy character, with the mark of good UK hops; medium bitter. Aftertaste once more spicy hops. Spritzy, not fizzy, light to medium bodied. Quite good, hoppy beer.

If you like blond, Belgian, BITTER and around 6% alc.vol., this is the type to cherish. Reminds me of Westvleren blond (5.8 % alc. vol.), but sturdier. And definitely more yeast in the bottle. Great hops. Love to taste it.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden coloured beer, with a nice big and good holding white head, that also sticks very nice to the glass. Decent smell, hoppy, slightly spiced and citrussy. Pretty full of taste, good bittering hops, citrus fruits, but also a bit of sweetness finds his way up. Sad about the bit of metallic at both the taste and aftertaste, cause that ruins it a bit. Bitterness holds good.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottled) Hazy golden-amber with a medium, frothy, lacy and very long-lasting head. Pale, honeyish malt and citrusy-grassy-aromatic hops in the nose, with so some bitterness evident. Flavor is quite bitter in a grassy-herby German pilsener way, and with some ashy stuffiness in the finish, like in most low-ABV beers with high bitterness. There is some pale malt to balance, but I’d like some fruitiness, too. Light to medium body, lowish carbonation. With yeast, the flavor is smoother, but the stuffiness remains. Great aroma and looks, but too much harsh and stuffy bitterness in the flavor. 4744
