33cl Bottle somewhere in Florenville. Doesn’t say where it’s been brewed. Hazy golden yellow colour, white head. Aroma of malts, sweet fruits, yeast, a bit flowery. Flavour is soft, sweet, malty, honey, sweet fruits, dry yeast, light flowery, lots of carbonation but a soft mouthfeel. Light bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bottled. Clear golden with sweaty, fruty nose.Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Somewhat yeasty with bold, clumsy malt character and some warming alcohol. Simplistic brash strong ale.
