JaKeAFC (156) - ITALY - FEB 9, 2012
33cl bottle, 6.7%, 1.15€, contains ascorbic acid, caramel colorant . Dark yellow, clear, ok white head. Light fruity nose. Aroma is fruity with mostly white grapes, wine must, apple, wheat, spicy lager malts and some light grassy hops. Taste is sweet with an acidic, astringent, fairly dry finish. Alcohol is not too much invasive, quite easy to drink, but sourish. Carbonation is fizzy on the tongue. Medium bodied. It seems like a powered to excess lager, can’t really classify this as a real abbey beer, but it’s great for people who’d like to expand their beer horizons cheaply instead of the same old pale lager; this would be a good start.

This Belgium blond poors copper red with a mild head. It tastes crisp and delicious with no bitter after taste.

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - DEC 31, 2011
330 ml bottle.
Pours a golden colour with loads of bubbles and a small white head. Aroma of light grassy hops and some caramel malts. Flavour of light grassy hops, caramel malts, citrus and weak fruitiness. Medium bodied, quite high carbonation and a slightly bitter and fruity finish. Easy to drink but quite an average Belgian ale without character.
