It pours a hazy light amber to orange with lots of fizzy head that diminishes quickly. The aroma has a bland collection of grains, overripe fruit, and a slightly crisp hoppiness. The body is thin and watery. The taste is more sour than anything else with biscuit notes but nothing memorable. It sat a couple months before I opened it. Maybe that impacted the flavor.

Flaske 0,33l på ‘t Brugs Beertje 2 Mai 11. Lys gylden. Gjæraroma. Avdempet søt fruktsmak med innslag av gjær. Tørr ettersmak. Ikke noe å rope hurra for.

This beer is gross. Taste is doughy, boozy, and reminds me a bit of stale pound cake. Maybe this is an old bottle? Drain pour.

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2011 Intense taste for a blond. Has a sharp floral flavor, very unappealing. Like eating random leaves. No finish. Meh. Got it tastes like dubra vodka, wow.

Pours yellow with a white head and some yeast floaties. Aroma is a sour yeasty banana. Flavor is flat and lightly bitter, no sweetness, and malty body.

Pours gold into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Honey and citrus aromas. Sweet biscuit upfront turning to pepper before the medium length bitter finish.

(draught) pours a hazy yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of spicy wheat, lemons, cardboard and light paint thinner. flavour is quite unspectacular, some grain and lemon, with hints of cooked vegetables. watery body with soft carbonation.

Bottle: Poured a murky brown with a thin white head. Aroma is perfume and floral. Taste is rubbing alcohol, way past its prime. Maybe if I had gotten to it a year prior.
