Bottle, 6.6% sell-by end 2008. Drunk at room temperature, presented a huge, long lasting head. Once quitened, the beer was left with a very pleasant soft carbonation. Flavour light, grassy, balanced. Alcohol well hidden. I approached this long established brewery with caution but this much better than the factory brewery blonds and congratulations to the brewer.

6.6% on the label of the 75 cl bottle. Pale blonde, hazy, frothy head. Citrus and flowery and oily hops in the aroma. Firm oily hoppy, but also malty flowery hopbitter flavor with a touch of vanilla. Earthy oily hopbitter aftertaste. Excellent! I guess Onder de Linden now has perfected the recipe.

Bottle 0,75ltr:Well balanced spicy and grassy strong blond ale from Wageningen.
