Straw yellow with bright green reflections. Smell dominated by a citrus fruitiness reminiscent of grapefruit and bergamot. On the palate it is very light in body, with slight initial malty notes that leave the field to a refreshing finish with a bitter cut of moderate persistence.

On tap at Craft&Draft. Clear golden colour, dense white head. Aroma of bready malts, flour, soft floral citrus, some grassy hops. Smells nice. Flavour is light to medium sweet, malty, bread, lemon, floral, citrus, grass, bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Well made and very tasty, in the line of beers like Westmalle Extra and Westvleteren Blond.

Tap @ Craft & Draft, tick. At 4.7% ABV. Almost clear golden color, medium rocky white head. Aroma of flowery hop, bit citrussy, slight spicy. Soft sweet and soft bitter. Full bodied, especially for 4.7%. Thick malty body, without getting cloying or anything. Wonderful balance and great amount of flavor. Awesome stuff.

Bottle purchased in Rome and consumed in Kosovo. Yellow hazy color, persistent white and tick foamy head. Some sediment in the bottom...that I would have preferred not to pour. Nose of predominant Belgian yeast, grapefruit, flowers and grassy notes. Mouth: overall tartness, citrus, floral notes and grassy bitterness. Dry end. An interesting beer! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hazy pale gold beer. Massive fluffy white head. Crispy dry palate. Trace of sulphur! Dry lemon and grapefruit citrus. Pinch of pepper with mildly nutty pale malt. Finishes dry and with a carbonated nip. Bitterish aftertaste. Sulphur mars an otherwise tasty beer.

Bottle, 8C. Cloudy orange with an inch of white head that lasts. Orange, lemon sherbet and herbal aroma with some vanilla and dough. Lightish body, highly carbonated. Taste has candi sugar sweetness and some light dough before citrus, peppery herbs. Dry bitter finish has a slight metallic touch. Brusque and very refreshing.

Pours pale amber with a large, growing head.Nose shows prominent floral notes, lemon and orange zest, a soft herbal notes and faint doughy yeast. Very light and refreshing.Initially upon tasting things seem sweet, with light fruit, but this quickly dries out into a bitter finish, with the extremely high carbonation only increasing the effect. Almost off-putting in fact.
