Golden with orange glow, very thick and foamy head which partially collapses, nice lacing. Really fresh aroma, citrus, fruits, malts, hops, grass, butter flowers. Very bitter hops flavour with sour fruit, nice! Unexpected for a pilsener.

Bottle at home, thanks dEnk! Pours a hazy golden color with a nicely shaped foamy white head. Aroma is hoppy and also a bit geuze like yeasty. Has a subtle bitter to sour taste, reminded me of orval. Very well balanced, great beer, although I’m not really sure about the pilsener categorization...

Bottle. Gusher. Pours hazy yellow coloured with a big foamy lasting and lacing egg white head. Very lively. Aromas of spice, orange fruit, yeast and some metallic notes. Flavours of fruity orange, bitter hops and a rubber-like finish. Hmm.. Messy brew, yet drinkable..

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a spicy yeasty malty aroma with some weak grassy hints. Smooth malty yeasty bitter flavor. Has a spicy yeasty malty hoppy finish.

25th May 2008. A sour blond beer. Bitterish caraway malt and a very dry finish. Not as bad as it sounds!

Had this on tap at the brewpub, Amsterdam, 27th Oct 2009 Pours crystal clear gold with a white head, thats also clingy and filmy. Nice aroma, though I can’t quite pinpoint it, butb there is a good tang from the pilsner malts and hops. A pilsner that I really like. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov14 3.7

[9/10/08] Bottle at a friends’ house in Amsterdam. Aroma of green apples, hops, citrus, yeast, brett, a bit of hay notes - seems like it’s quite infected but not in such a bad way. Flavor starts with a bit of sweet malt, but very quickly turns sour-bitter with strong noble hops, citrus, grass, fruits and some infection sourness. Light-bodied. Still decent even though heading towards a train wreck. Not very Pils-like anyway.

Bottle. Think this bottle was off. Lots of carbonation makes 90% of the content disappear in the sink. The rest is murky orange with black floaties. Strong acidic nose. Flavour is dry citrus, terrible.Must try some other time
