Light orange body, thin to medium head, fastly disappearing. Overwhelming and delicious flowery and citric notes in the aroma; tastes tangy and refreshing with a long and definitely bitter finish. Malt is almost non-extistant, anyway, so it’s rather thin on the palate and not exactly balanced, but on the other hand this is exactly the way the beer was designed to be to begin with, and "improving" the recipe would risk ruining its special character.

0,75 l bottle.
Hazy blond beer. Aroma of sweet fruit and flowery hops. Pineapple, grapefruit. Pearly carbonation. Lots of flowers, herbs and grass. Tha label says barley malt only, though it seems related to a wit. A whiff of perfume in the tail. Violets, perhaps. Incredible that this is brewed by the Reinheitsgebot! fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy

Strong hop aroma, grassy, hop cones. Dry and lean mouthfeel, not much malt but strong bitterness, quite aromatic (continental hops), but too much bitter at the end, unbalanced.
