33cl bottle tasted alonside Hoegaarden Grand Cru - I found them very similar, but this is just slightly better IMHO. Head bigger and longer lasting than the Grand Cru, similar light orange hazy appearance. Honey, vanilla, pepper and hop flower aroma, full bodied with long hoppy finish.

Pour is a clear gold with a big fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation. Nose is fruity yeast, straw, and spices. Flavor is crisp, clean, and very nice. Much like the smell. A quality brew.

330ml bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with bit white head. Aroma is fruity, citurs, yeast and bread. Flavor is lemon, pears, other citrus and light fruits, yeast, some bread and a little hops. A lot better that what I thought it was going to be as I really do not like this style. Well made brew.

Hazy blond coloured beer with medium white head and only few carbonation. Fresh granny and hoppy aroma. Full palate bit sparkling, little creamy. Finish is bitter and herby. Top beer.

Dark golden in color. A bit cludy, very fizzy. Pretty malty, somewhat sweet and strong tasting. Somewhat overcarbonated.
