33 cl. swing-top bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Clear golden with a big white head. Hoppy aroma with some citrus in it. Like the normal Hopus, one of the better Belgian blond ales.

Hazy gold beer with a mahoosive fluffy white head. Palate is light and airy and minerally crisp. Semi sweet brett. Floral notes. Lots of light citrus. Mild lactose and creamy malt. All flavours join up really well in to a crisp finish. Tasty and very drinkable.

Bottle at Delirium. Slightly green-tinted golden color with a huge, airy head. Lightly hoppy nose, lemon, grapefruit. Tasty enough, bready pils malt, nice citrus hops, works with its spicy yeast. Crisp, clean, refreshing. A slightly hoppier version of the regular, but it works. Adding the yeast sweetens it and makes it fuller.
