0.44l can. Aroma of stone and tropical fruit, resin and biscuit. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thick creamy white head, nice lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts quite sweet stone fruity, resinous and refreshing citrusy, following is herbal and bready, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is dry and bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Pairs good with listening to Slayer…

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).
