On tap at Wildeman. Nice amber body with medium head. Nose is malty and a bit fruity. Taste also fruity and nice malt flavours. De Prael sometimes unstabel but this one quite nice. Works well.

On tap at Jopenkerk, Haarlem on 4 April 2011. Nearly missed this as I assumed it was just the normal Andre. Apparently it differs in that it is made from lager yeast. I sort of assumed the regular Andre was too as it is billed as a Lentebock. Oh well. I would have liked to try the two side by side but I have to say my notes for both are rather similar. Amber colour. Loose white head. Soft aroma with fruity malt and a slight yeasty edge. Fruity on the palate. Not too sweet. Easygoing and easy-drinking.

Wooden barrel at PINT Meibockfestival ’11. Hazy golden amber colour, soapy white head. Aroma is light sweet, fruity, malty, light grassy hoppy. Flavour is sweet, malty, fruity, a bit floral, nice smooth bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nice.
