Dark golden coloured, small head. Hoppy and bit sweet aroma and flavour, hints of apple. Bitter finish. Refreshing beer, but nothing extraordinary.

Jeppe (2633) - Ølbutikken, DENMARK - DEC 27, 2004
Clear golden beer with a foamy snow white head. Hayish, yeasty and spicy aroma. Thin and watery flavor, rancid hayish and yeasty with some fruity notes. Not a beer for me.

maupie (908) - Roosendaal, NETHERLANDS - MAY 10, 2004
This beer has a yellow body - hue apperance and a fine light white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a low carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is very bitter.

bierkoning (8109) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAR 13, 2004
Orange aroma. Orange flavor with some hops. Medium bodied. Slight bitter aftertaste. Halfway a pilsener and a blonde ale. Easy drinker.
