Thanks to quack-duck for that one. Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Dry aroma. Starts hoppy and dry, quite grasy and also quite sourish. A bit soapy-moldy. Finish too unbalanced, still soapy and dry hoppy. Not my favourite.

Bottled @ Smoked-Golden appearance. Smelling like citrus fruits + hop. Taste is light, bitter without tail. Low body.

(bottle) amber, hazy, white head. Malty toasted aroma, with a range of different fruits (like watermelon, orange peel), but also a bit of cooked vegetables. Medium bitter, very lightly sweet. A bit watery in the middle. I am not totally convinced, lacks balance. Will try it again, though, if I get the chance.
