Commercial Description:
Blond, bright and sparkling with a fine and creamy head. Deliciously fragrant thanks to a slight hint of fine hops. Delicate flavour, mellow, perfect as aperitif.

Bottle, at a vaguely Greek bar close to Brussels Nord, March 2006. Hazy gold, good white head and moderate condition. Pleasantly sweet and chalky aromas with hints of yeast and spicy hops, soft and chalky in the mouth with sweet yeast but reduced hop notes affecting the balance, gentle lingering yeastiness in the finish.

Bottle conditioned. Beautiful gold colour with pure white head that quickly dissipated to a thin layer. Mainly malt aroma with hints of apple, citrus and faint vanilla. More fruit on the tongue with citrus predominating. Initially crisp on the palate but leaves a pleasant smoothness in the finish. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend over-chilling this as it loses a lot of its character. Dangerously drinkable at 6.3%, I was impressed and will purchase again.

Bottle, Tesco. Poured a golden colour with a white head which vanished to nothing. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour similar. Vague hops present. Pretty unspectacular, but drinkable.

Bottle @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Cph.
Pours deep, clear golden with a big, frothy white head. roma is malty, light yeast with some apple notes. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is soft, quite a yeat presence. Fine balance and very drinkable.
