Special beer you can’t find from local shops. Light, a bit cloudy golden beer. Quite a lot foam. Light aroma, a bit fruity and grainy. Light taste with some bitter. A bit sloppy. Nothing special and as its difficult to get this beer, don’t bother.

Die Schaumkrone des bis zum Ende des Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatums gereiften Bieres hält mittelmäßig-gut. Der Geruch ist süßlich, intensiv säuerlich und fruchtig leicht bitter- citrusartig. Geschmacklich ist es dann säuerlich, etwas herb, hefig aber erstaunlich mild, im Nachgeschmack dann auch nur leicht herb. Test vom 12.9.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,10,8,9,10 - 9,90

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Nose/taste of lemon, bready malt, white pepper and herbal hops. Light and airy on the palate. Finishes with some dry herbs.

nice lemon, citrus aromas rather than characteristic/expected bubble gum esters. Pleasant, easy drinker. light body, high carbonation, smooth.

33 cl bottle. Pours bright hazy yellow with a small white head. Nose is lemony, yeasty, citrusy. Taste is the same, with a slight tartness and sharpness on the end. Fluffy and well carbonated. Interesting to think of this as a Trappist beer-so different than most of the other malty, big beers they produce. Good beer for a summer outing.

12/03/2012 330ml bottle, via trade (thanks fonefan!). Dorata, lievemente torbida, schiuma abbondante, bianca e persistente. Al naso lieviti, spezie, malto, caramello, luppolo, molto armoniosa e bilanciata. In bocca ha un attacco maltato e un finale luppolato, ha corpo molto leggero, abbastanza "watery", e una buona carbonazione. Facile, armoniosa, ben fatta, si beve che è un piacere!

bottle, thanks to kappldav123! Hazy golden colour, mid-sized white head. Hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, fruity-malty flavours with an intensive hoppy bitterness, herbal and rather spicy.

[Thanks to fonefan]. Golden beer with a good formation of white head with a perfect duration. Aroma has citrus and malty notes. Flavour is moderate bittery with mild citrus hints and a very dry final. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium.
