75cl bottle. Hazy yellow with low to medium white head. Dissipates completely. Nose : bread and hay notes. Strong lemon and lemon zest aromas. Clove and coriander spices. Sip : Low to medium carbonation, watery with slightly oily slickness. Malty, dry and spicy beer overall with strangely oily ending. Soap like hoppiness. Not my kind of beer.

Clear light medium yellow colour with a large to huge, frothy, good to excellent lacing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, light to light moderate hoppy, grass, citrus, light berliner weiss tart aroma. Flavour is moderate to light light heavy sweet, light acidic and light to light moderate bitter with a long duration, citrus - fruity tart ! birch sap ! Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. IMO quit odd but okay ! [20111018]

Starts of a bit sweet and cider-like, the finish adds some bitter and sourness. Light to medium on the palate. Aroma of citrus and other fruits, and particularity cider. Golden colour, a considerable white head. (33 cl bottle)
