Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is biscuity malt, caramel, touch of fruits, slightly buttery with a hint of vegetables (DMS). Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Ouch, not very good... What it lacks in fruity hops, it makes up for in mild off-flavours...

A bottle shared with lovely Anja and Our K&K Igor in Sofia. Murky pale golden, small to medium lasting off-white head. Moderately hopped - grassy, resiny, light citrus. Dry with a strange herbal touch. Medium body, soft to moderate carbonation, light finish. Strange, but above all not bitter.

Smell of yeast. Muddy yellow colour, white head. Aroma of yeast, some overripe fruit and hops in the background. So yeasty that it makes you think it’s spoiled. Yurgh.

22-MAY-2016. Pretty solid malts, tropical fruit and... dirty socks again (like their other beers). Hints of ashes in the aftertaste. OK, but certainly off. 6-4-6-3-11=3,0/5.



24-FEB-2016. BOTTLE 33 CL (Lot 003, BB 5-AUG-2016). Hazy amber with a big sediment, off-white head. Muted sugary and caramel aroma, notes of green figs, no hops at all. The taste is even worse, restrained malts, harsh and astringent, green fruit and glue, harsh phenolic bitterness. This needs a lot of work. 3-4-4-3-7=2,1/5.

Bottle shared at Vitamin B - Sofia, Bulgaria. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy-frothy white head. A bit muted on the nose, some pine needles and crackery pale malts. Light-medium sweet flavor with yet more pine needles, pale grains, frackers, lemon rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. More of the same on the finish. Perhaps not at its freshest? Otherwise, could do with some tweaking. Just so so.
