Bottle. Apricot malt aroma - strikes me a a slightly glue-like, soapy off-note actually. Golden, low carbonation and head. Grainy, fruity apricot in the flavor as well - weird did they play with belgian yeast or too high fermentation temperature here? Dry, overattenuated. Very bizarre - please dont do this to me Faust - I seriously hope this was an off bottle! ADDENDUM: Second bottle was the same - what a shame :-(

(swing top bottle) Clear, golden colour with a fluffy but rather unstable foamy white head. Slightly dusty and sweet grainy malt aroma with honey. Medium sweet flavour, grainy taste with a honey-fruity touch; medium to light bodied, well-carbonated mouthfeel; slightly bitter and malty, light hoppy finish with a light and rather unpleasant tart note in the aftertaste. Still decent but nothing special.

Bottled. Golden colour, clear, creamy head. Rounded firm maltiness. Dryish with bitter balanced finish. Very solid.
