Bottle, lots of carbonization. Poors out of the bottle. Big head, white, dense. In the nose there is citron, herbs and apple. Tastes a bit bitter, like a Duvel, reasonable, average finish. Somewhat dry and hoppy. Average to good.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting white head leaving nice long lacings. Milky light yellow hazy body. Weak fruity aroma with a spicy note that I cannot quite figure out. Mild spicy fruity bisquit flavor with a relatively high carbonation and a long aftertaste.

iets te troebel van kleur en iets te veel gist naar mijn goesting. en een beetje te scherp van smaak.
