Nov 26, 2009 750 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear golden colour with small white frothy head.
Fruity, slighty hoppy aroma. Grassy hoppy flavour with hints of yeast and fruits. Warming alcohol. Not very impressive. Could live without.

Nov 12, 2009 Bottle, 75cl. Very pale on the pour without being attractive with it, with a poor head, and no lacing. Very lagerish aroma, and very cereally on the tongue, despite the high ABV. Not a particularly impressive brew.

Oct 25, 2009 Poured out a very light yellow gold, thick creamy white cap, excellent 360 degree lacing that is a bit slippery. Smells similar to a Euro lager, some yeast, some strong smell that hints at leather. The taste seems based on a Euro lager with a hard spice, nice quiet alcohol, Odd yeast. A bit hot. More alcohol now, too much alcohol for this. Nice interesting mild yeast burn. Highly carbonated, dry, light interesting spice on the finish, some burn. It’s a mild spicy / yeast / musty Euro lager mix. Highly anticipated opening, very disappointing overall. Booooo.

Oct 18, 2009 Pale golden with small white head - some malt and hops in there somewhere, but main thing here was an alcoholic sting

Oct 15, 2009 75cl corked (and clamped!) bottle. Fairly pale golden yellow colour - big, creamy white head with generous lacing. Aroma of grass and hops, rather faint. Active carbonation; therefore, despite 8.5 % abv, mouthfeel is fizzy rather than smooth. Medium bodied strong blonde beer. Taste is both sour and sweet, with a grassy bitterness on top - rather hard to pin down: Spicy herbs and yeast come to the fore as the beer goes down, with a heavy, dry finish and pronounced, medium bitter aftertaste. Complex beer, you’d never guess it’s got 8.5 %. The alcohol is well-integrated, making this tough blonde dangerously sessionable. Those who like their Belgian blonde quaffable and sweet-ish should definitely look elsewhere. But for those beer enthusiasts who want a kind of "Pilsener-and-more", this might actually be a very attractive brew.

Oct 13, 2009 Very light pale yellow nice white crown lacing was descent. Very first inhale I dry heaved and eye’s watered instantly not a good start. Sour gueuze style aroma. Aroma is now better but not begging me to drink, honey, yeast, some apple. Aroma is just way to sharp for me to really enjoy. Apple honey flavor with zero sour but a strange bitterness. Mild citrus and a very dry finish with some cloves I think. Not sure I liked this brew but thanks jeff for sharing.
