Yellow-gold, slight (cold) haze; lemon-yellow tinted white head, good carbonation. Vanilla, citrus and alcohol in the nose, smells strong & dry. Bone-dry beer, traces of white candi sugar, citrus. Bitterish citruspeel retronasal. After a certain time and some warming up, at last some restsugars, blending with the alcohol. Enormous dry-out effect, not light bodied by any standard despite high attenuation. Alcohol obvious. Not terribly super-strong, but giving the impression of. remarkably more run-of-the-mill beer than the other two tasted - but technically irreproachable.

Bottled. Pours Golden with a white head. Aroma is spicy lemon. Taste is sweet spicy, with a litle fruit

Hazy golden colour with a white head. Spicy citrus light alcoholic aroma and a sweet dry citrus light bitter taste. Medium body and a dry finish.
