[at Yeprs tuesday tasting]
Pours deep, golden amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is softly fruity - pineapple - and yeast. Fine mouthfeel. Flavour has biscuits, quite malty, hides its alcohol very well. A bit too sweet.

Low white head on a golden yellow body. Not too bitter nor too alcoholic, tastes like corn/maize. good when chilled, a thirst-quencher no more.

Honey gold color, with a frothy white head, fruity notes and sweet pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet alcoholic accent, grainy, pale malt flavor, leading towards a sweet malty and faint floral hops finish.

it pours an impressively filtered, amber-blond colour; fine and stable foam, yeasty nose showing bread and notes of banana, very high carbonation, very sweet with a good malt backbone, an insignificant bitterness before a moderately dry finish which is only disturbed by lingering notes of malt and alcohol - simple and very forgettable
