Lichtbruin bier zonder schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig met iets van zwarte thee en abrikoos. Niet slecht.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white head. A nice toast and citrus nose. Light but smooth and clear citrus hops, pine, medium bitterness at times, finishes clean with oranges and spice. Dry biscuit malt backbone. Very nice. Light but flavorful.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus. Lightly hazy orange color, small white to off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, decently hoppy and subtly bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Decent, but one of so many APA’s. Enjoyed it though. (From backlog a couple of weeks back)

Good yellowish head, lively carbonated over orangey golden beer. Bit doughy, weyish nose, underneath citrussy hops. Not very distinctive. Dry bitterish, but also malty flavour, straw, hay. Very faintly pharmaceutical. Light body, spritzy, refreshing but watery. I think I prefer more character on my holidays.
