Golden color with a nice head. Aroma of peach, frity. Palate: sweet, spice and fruity.

330ml bottle. Light amber, pours with a creamy head, which disappears quite quickly. Strong, but light, grainy aroma - almost wheat-like in its lightness (lack of roasting), but without the corriander that accompanies wheat. There is some perfume and blossom though.Taste is also a light maltiness. Not a huge flavour, but it makes up for it in quality, it’s sweet and inviting.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Nice straw notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Strong almost acetic citric-notes. Average finish. Oily palate.

500ml bottle. pours a yellow-orange. lightly fruity - orange, hint of clove maybe.

Bottle: At Tortula in Sao Paulo. Nice, fruity, vanilla, banana and peach. Traces of wheat very well blended in. Alcohol lingers in the back and end with a Finish that is dry and bitter.

At home ... Cooking tea ... half the bottle to make a sause to go with the ham ... Lovely golden amber ... little bubbles rising ... Light hop little sharp citrus touch laggery in aroma ... clean ... light hop ... citrusy ... touch of honey ... some lemon peel.

Bottle sampled. Pours orange/golden with a small wjite head. Aroma of fruit, belgian yeast and spices. The flavor is slightly sweet fruit, spices, and a mild bitter finish. Not a bad brew.

Pale, medium head. Aroma of malt, yeast, just a little sweet. Flavour is subtile: fruity, sweet, malt, yeast. It would be a nice session beer, but its flavour should be a little more noticeable.
