UPDATED: JUL 22, 2010 A Mes rate. Draught at Københavns Ølfestival 2010.
Someone gave me this, I can’t remember who but I think it was that mad English guy we met who was really into Belgian beer. Granted, eight of my top ten beers are Belgian, this however, is not one of them. Cleanish gold with a short lived white head. Boring spicy and yeasty blonde with a fruity finish that has just a lick of bitterness. Boring.

KØ10. Almost clear golden colour. Very small white head. Weak spicy aroma. Rough hop flavour, spicy and a little grainy.

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt as well as lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and malt, leading to a lightly dry finish.
