Big foamy head that lasts a long time. Nice golden color. Nice bitterness and a slight sourness. Too much bubbles for my taste.

The glass goes so well with this beer. When you pour it, it has such a golden hazy colour. Head si very thick white head. It has a very light taste. Its light bodied with slick texture. It has lively carbonation with smooth aftertaste.

Great foamy head. Nice fruity aroma. A very smooth and light beer. Very little hop bitterness that develops on the aftertaste. Good mouthfeel. Nice sipping beer

Clear golden colour with a huge white head that leaves great lazing on the tulip. Aroma is extremely fruity and estery with notes of grapefruit, lemon, grass and clean malt. Flavour starts fruity but quickly turns a bit sharp and alcoholic with a grassy, light bitter finish with a lingering sweetness. Mouthfeel is great, not too carbonated but lively enough to make it drinkable.

Great and not so great, let me explain. The great part is when this beer is cold, all the flavors work well together an the alcohol is barely present. When it warms up it’s a different story. I feel the tulip glass chosen for this beer is also like the beer, both a blessing and a curse. The glass show cases the beer and allows for trapt aromas, however the bigger surface area and thinner glass allows it to warm to quickley. So unless you drink it quick, which is not ideal because of the abv, pick a different glass maybe even a frozen one IMO.

Lovely golden color with a nice white head. Lovely bubbles in the middle of the glass. Aroma is very yeasty, very light. Light and yeasty taste, tones of grains.

Poured to a fluted fest glass at Brixie’s Holiday Beer Tasting in Brookfield, IL. and made sure I got a full serving! Excellent appearance, with a straw hue, thick and silky, white foam, and very clingy drapes of lasting lacing. The nose presented some typical, light yeast, and subtle floral and fruit notes. The flavor offered some hints of grain as wheat-like, and a bit of tartness. Light bitterness, light+ body, lively carbonation, and a pleasant, finishing dryness completed the review. Still a classic!
