(Bottle 50 cl) Pretty, fully golden beer with a lively, creamy head leaving a pretty lacework in my glass. Slightly sweet, full body with a rather subdued bitterness. You really sense some good quality ingredients here. 050401

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light grassy and malt aroma. Subdued malt sweetness and a light bitterness in the initial flavour impression. Light acidic and bitter touch. Dry bitter finish with a light malt base, yet enought to counterbalance the bitterness.
