Sweet and soft beer, golden color... between a pils and a Gueze... personally love this one...

Fine tan head on a brown reddish body. Quite full and fruity aroma with tones of oranges and apricot. Nice and sweet! Flavor is very sweet fruity and sugary. Obvious notes of oranges. Little thin on the palate but all in all a nice and refreshing beer. Lacks a bit of sourness though.

Brown beer with a light brown head. Light tart fruity aroma with clear berry notes. Chocolate malty flavor and a sweet fruity finish.
