Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is fruity hops with juicy citrus, tropical fruits, orange, some pine, tangerine, grapefruit, some alcohol, and biscuity pale malt. Flavour is moderate sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is above medium. Bitter and citrussy, a bit sharp with noticeable alcohol. Nicely aromatic, good but not great (for the style).
