330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, minimally fruity aroma, in the end rather expressionless. Taste is dry, strawy, yeasty. Can’t see anything in it.

33 cl bottle from de brewery @ home. Nice clear, deep golden color with dense, rocky white head - good retention. Aroma’s: hay, sour fruit, lemon zest, typical IJ yeast. Grain & malts retronasal. Flavor is light sweet, caramellish, flowery. Light bodied, but not thin. Light bitter finish. Very pleasant, especially in Summer I reckon.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a blond and firm mid-sized foamy head. Citrus-fruity and mildly grainy malty aroma with flowery notes and yeasty spice. Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a prickly carbonation. Dry-ish malt character with hints of white bread, subtle citric notes and herbal hops; bitter-sweet and quite dry finish with notes of herbal hops and Belgian yeasty spice. Nice little brew. 20.II.14
