Smell: mostly sweet malts and grains
Taste: yeasty , malts, grains, a bit of acidity in the end , refreshing

Very sweet taste, some bitterness is hardly let through at all. A bit thin on the palate, lively carbonation. Very sweet smell, caramel and fruits like banana is in there. Clear golden colour, white head. (Bottle)

Bottle: Big airy white head on top of a light cloudy yellow colored beer. Smell is like white wine with some hints of wheat, herbs and a light hint of something light sour. Taste is a refreshing mix of wheat, grains, yeast, hint of bacteria, light fruity, citrus, white grapes and hint of green apples. A bit like fruity white wine with quite a sour touch to it. Aftertaste of white grapes/white wine and some light yeasty sourness. Low carbo, tingly lively but pretty soft mouthfeel, more than a medium body and a light watery/light creamy texture. Nice beer.

Small soft bubbles form the white head of this beer. Beer tastes like the head. Fine beer for a nice warm day in the spring.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a medium white head. Some floaties. The aroma is light acid, bubble gum, citrus and coriander. The flavour is spicy, coriander, citrus and light orange.

Fra flaske, dufter dejligt af hvede, hø, banan... grumset gylden med hvidt skum..... smager dejligt af banan, hvede og svagt hø....... eftersmagen er hvede, banan.... lidt tør i eftersmagen.... en ok øl :)
