Smell of sweet hops. Pale yellow colour with a very thin head. Strong taste of apples very much like cider. Fizzy.

11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a clear gold with lots of carbonation bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass. Moderate white head that lasted through two-thirds of the glass and left a coating of foam with each sip. Mild aroma of belgian yeast and sugar. The flavor is mild yeast and malt followed by sugary sweetness and a bit of grass. Virtually no bitterness at the finish.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a clear golden colour with good carbonation and a good size head. Smell is wheaty and spicy, but is very fresh and inviting. Taste is also wheaty but can also taste some fruits and is a bit sweet. Good balance and goes down very smooth.

Bottle from circle liquors. Pours a golden body with 2 finger white head. Sweet and malty with hints of citrus fruits, orange peel, apples a bit vinous. Decent pour.
