Cloudy blond color. Perfumy and soapy aroma, sweet, with flowers. Sourish flavor, spoiling a simple but pleasant Ale, maybe the result of some infection.

Hazy blond color. The arma has some honey, cereals and some hops; sweetish; it’s nice, but usually such aroma is combined with not so good flavor; and indeed the flavor is very ordinary, with light malt and too long hop infusion.

75 cl botteled. Surprizingly sour, but balanced nicely. My bottled had handwritten number (Lotto nr 132), with best before date 4/2008. The longer storage has benefitted the beer. I wonder however if this taste complexity was ever intended?

Bottled. A murky golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of citrus and yeast. The flavor is acidic with notes of malt, citrus, and yeast. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with floating impurities and a small white head. Tart fruity nose. Light body with tart and citrusy fruit. Astringent phenollic finish. 290508

Blind tasting @ Yespr. It’s a yellow-golden beer with a sour, fermented flower aroma. The flavour is sour with notes of yeast and old, fermented orange peel. It’s absolutely terrible. I would like to try it again, there must be something terribly wrong with this bottle.
