A bit malty for me, but I still liked it, taste was crisp, albeit malty, it was good. Very fresh tasting, I will drink this again

Pale gold in color with a fluffy, white head. Carbonation has a consistent rise of medium-sized bubbles that reminds me of an American Macro. Honeyied aroma with green hops, lemon, and light clove. Flavor has honey, candy sugar, grainy malt, grass and hay, herbs, and a light clove...amazing complexity. A dark fruit, almost plummy character arises as it warms. This beer beat down an overripe brie that I was about to toss based on smell alone. It paired well with it and subdued the almost chlorinated aroma of the cheese.

Typical lager color. Foamy small white head. Fruity and sweet aroma of banana and apricot. Medium-bodied sugary palate. Sweet apricot, malts taste with rounded mouthfeel. Sweet oily aftertaste. Hides alcohol completely.

(on bottle) Strangely absent of any sents, flavors and finish.. Small wheat nose. Foamy, soft mouth, high carbonation. Some cainsugar to the end?

(Bottled) Pale, clear golden color with small head. Berries and ashtray in the slightly sweet and sour aroma. Sweet, sugary flavor. Medium-bodied palate with low carbonation. An easily drinkable blonde, but could really use the missing yeast. Not very interesting.

Very slightly hazy, golden colour, with biggish, foamy white head. earthy aroma, with fruit (citrus, pear). Taste is apples, pears, melon. Some mustiness as well, but not unpleasant. Hoppy and dry at the finish. Medium to full bodied, nice on the palate. Very good indeed.

Bottle. A sweet biere de garde. Lightly herbal and bready/doughy, off dry finish, but it was a little too sweet at the start, but it wasn’t bad at all. Pretty simple.
