Bottle from Lukas Liquor. Pours hazy yellow. Taste is a little sour, a little malty. Overall, just average.

Bottle from Frits. Fast-rising head. Yellow colour. Nice, citrusy aroma. Spicy, smooth, buttery even. Not much of a kick to it. Watery and murky finish.

Yellow cloudy hue, frothy lasting white head. Lots of sediment thats suspended. Soft carbonation watery texture. Light with hints of citrus, dry finish but not much of anything else. Average at best. If this recipe is so old it should be updated. Meh.

Quite unexpected to find how uninspiring this was. Aroma was one dimentional buttery lemon. Taste was going in the same direction with a very light body very heavily carbonated, dry finish.

33cL bottle. Poured a clear, yellow color with tons of carbonation driving a white, solid head. I really liked this beer because of its light, crisp flavor but agree that it lacks a little power and complexity.

Get some light fruit and sweet malt in the aroma.Pours a light gold with a medium white head.Light fruit and some yeast stand out in the flavor.Thin to medium mouthfeel with kind of a musty finish.

Light amber with a nice head. The aroma has notes of fruit and sweetness. The flavour is initially TOO sweet, but after a few sips I get used to it. It has notes of fruit (apple and citrus) and the finish has nice citrus notes. OK, but should have more power.
