On tap at 3rd Brugs BF. Light hazy blond beer, white head. Aroma of malts and hops. Flavour is hoppy, bready malts, nice bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.

Bottle thanks to bullzeye. The look is golden in color, light cloudiness, and has a decent white head. The smell is hops, floral, fruits, and ok. The taste is the same with some malts.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is of fruit, floral and perfume, almost sake-like in aromatics. Taste is fruity with malt, booze and grain.

A bottle 50cl. After opening the bottle, the beer gushed out of the bottle. It was was empty for 2/3. The beer what lefts was hazy, golden color, with a very big white head. The aroma was spicey with fruits and grassy. The taste has some fruits and malts, spicey as well, like nutmeg. There was bitterness. The aftertaste was bitter in an unpleasant way.

(Swing-top bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours very murky yellow. Nose is sweet caramel, lemon zest and hops. Flavor is lemon zest, medium hoppy flavor and very carbonated. A strange brew, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Greenish brown (?) pour. Aroma of marzipan (because Markus says so), fruit cups, pastries, peach pie. Tastes less sweet than those qualities let on and is actually fairly tart. Interesting.
