Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, golden body under a white head. The aroma has caramel and fruity hops with citrus-peel. Citrus and caramel flavor with a bready touch and a decent bitterness. A bit thin in the mouch maybe. Bitter finish. Sure a drinkable beer, but rather uninteresting. 090822

Bottle. Reddish beer with a white lacy head. Aroma of bread, malts, fruits and hops. Flavor pretty much the same. Light/medium palate. I liked this bottle version better than from tap in summer.

500ml Bottle (Thanks oh6gdx) - Amber in colout. Slightly hoppy aroma with notes of peach and spicy malt. Slightly metallic taste with notes of fruit, hops and spicy malt. Nicely balanced, drinkable, refreshing, but not very exciting.

50 cl bottle. Pours deep golden to orange and clear. The small head is quite loose and soapy. The aroma is sweet, malty and slighly caramelly. Some grassy and slightly herbal hops, some lemon in the finish. The flavor is somewhat malty and drier than I expected. Dryish and lightly bitter finish. The palate is ordinary: medium carbonation with slightly sticky finish.

The color is dark golden and the aroma has notes of malt and hay. The flavor has sweetness and dusty notes of malt, caramel citrus (mostly grapefruit). The choice of hops isn’t really me.
