Small white head over fine-carbonated, hazy yellow beer. Vegetable smell again, but different, like pickles, or better: asparagus, bit flowery. Very flowery taste, (elder)flowerwine, fine honeyish. Just a touch of vegetable: like fine green beans, green asparagus; citrus. Sweetish pale malts rounding off. Well-carbonated, near Champenoise, nearly medium bodied. No doubt a leap forwards, also a lot more drinkable than the 8% version, even when that one didn’t betray its ABV.

33cl Bottle. Yellow blond, light hazy coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Very light aroma with some short hoppy hints. Medium to full sprankling palate. Finish is light fruity , sweet floral with some short bitter and malty touches. Misses some charater. Not outstanding.

Bottle @ home. Clear yellow color, average sized lightly creamy white head. Smell malts and herbs. Taste malts, herbs, yeast and some weird sourness resembling the smell of pickles. Low carbo, low to medium body.

Pours a bright golden yellow color. Aromas of hops, fruit, and a little yeast. Has a light lemony taste, with some yeastynotes, and a good hop flavor.
