Medium blonde color. Thick, fine head.
Malt and yeast aroma. A touch sweet.
Sweet, malty flavor at first. Strongish. Moves more to a bitter hops finish. Good fruitiness, citrus. Apples. Lingering malt sweetness with hop bitterness, long-lasting. Slightly sour.
Not terribly complex, but very nice, dry, flavorful.

Has the typical citrus aroma with mild hops. Taste has a little bit more hops than other white beers, but besides that, there’s not much difference. BustedFlat (554), Edina, Minnesota, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Can. I guess it’s not aged that long. Clear amber, only slightly darker than a pale lager, with a thick, white head. Malt aroma, with some rich caramel and roasted notes. Sweet, heavy and full body. Finishes a bit sweet and long. But, a distinct style I’ve not explored before. Borresteijn (1433), Amsterdam, Netherlands

Aroma of hops, grain, esters and some cardboard. Flavour is grainy, slightly hoppy, a bit pale lager/malt liquor like, metallic. Alcoholic and slightly bitter finish. A bit thin. Not very impressive.
