Looks like a lager but with a good head that lasts well. Touch of honey in the aroma. This is good, not too sweet, well balanced and the alcohol content does not show at all.

Bottle from Tesco. Beautiful dark golden colour with a perfect white head. Aroma is both malt and flowery hop with a hint of peach. Flavour mixes sweetness with a slight hint of the sourness of a wheat beer. Hints of apple in the satisfyingly dry finish. Excellent beer that just shades their Dubbel, though as the nights draw in, I’ll probably reverse that.

33 cl. Clear, orange-gold with an eighth-inch of persistent head. Aroma of white wine, apples and corn sugar. Flavor of apples and grapes soaked in white wine with a touch of honey. Light body is dry on the finish and a little too fizzy for me.

Medium amber beer with small diminishing head. Pleasant aroma and somewhat watery initial taste of fruits and malt. Finish is nice. Needs more alcohol. Quite cheap, so is now my beer of choice to be stocked up with.

Creme medianamente denso e persistente. No aroma e no sabor, típicos do estilo, muitas cascas de laranja, frutas secas e damascos. Final longo e doce, levemente alcoólico.

11.2 oz bottle purchased at some store on Rt 18 in the Brunswicks and drank at the Giants Thursday night opening game against the Redskins. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a large bubbly fomay white head. Aroma was fruity, lots of lemon, sour and grainy. Flavor followed suit and was dominated by a sour lemon, lemon rind flavor. I wasn’t impressed with this at all but one of my nonbeergeek buddies who tried it really liked it, go figure.
