Commercial Description:
In 1991, the brewery decided to revive an old custom harking back to the 14th century when there were no means of refrigeration. Beer was then traditionally brewed in early December and stored over the winter under naturally cool conditions. The first barrels were only opened in March, as the days started to become warmer. It has a fresh, springlike bouquet with dominant tones of malt and grains. It is made using a top fermentation yeast, malted barley and newly harvested Alsation hops. With 5.4% alcohol by volume, it is a pure malt beer that is highly refreshing. It has a fine white head and clear golden colour, a dominant hoppy taste with a hint of fruitiness. Best served between 5 and 6°C.

Bottled. Gusher. Hazy goldenrod pour without much of a head, but a mild wispiness sticks around for the duration of the beer. Kind of minty, very vegetal aroma, sweet and malty and reminiscent of the countryside. Mint, tobacco flavor with a load of sweet corn, aluminum, and rice. This was nice at first but as it breathed it kind of lost its better qualities.

Bottle thanks to mar. The smell is skunky, grains, hops, and floral. The look is golden in color with an ok white head. The taste is grains, sweet, medium body, and some fruits.

Bottle thanks to mar. Gold in color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is of sugar, lots of tangy citrus, grain and a light skunkiness. Taste is of honey, sugar and cardboard. The citrus does not carry over at all in the flavor.

(330ml bottle thanks to mar) Apparently I am rating this beer higher than everyone else, but I loved it. Pour is very pale with some bubbles, extremely flavorful despite the color. Nose has a tart smell (cherries?) and funky. Lightly spicy bite here, fruity but not identifiable, hoppy with no bitter finish.

Bottle thanks to Mar. Pours a hazy light gold with white fizzy head. Aroma of some malt and light hops. Flavor is malty, some fruit, hops, corn and grain. Mouth fel is light body with high carbonation. Overall, has some good points and bad points, just reminds me of a basic euro lager.....
