Flaske 330ml spandert av Rune. Delt med ham på Nerstranda 11 Feb 15. Gyldenbrun. Litt partikler. Høyt luftig skum som varer. Anonym aroma. Hint av frukt. Smaken svakt krydret med en søt, tørr avslutning.

330ml bottle by the courtesy of djoeye. Hazy dark golden body under a lasting off-white head. Fair lacing. Belgian yeasty fruit on the nose, lightly spiced. Fruity flavours, candy sweetness together with a yeasty touch. Foamy in the mouth. Satisfying (shared with Finn at his place in Tromsø 11.02.2015).

Blonde session beer with a vividly fruity aroma (peach, pineapple), floral hops, some honeyish and caramelly malts, delicate, with a refined hoppy finish. Very well balanced and well crafted, exemplary for the style of blond top-fermented Belgian session ales.

Bottle thnx to the brewer . Pours clear blonde . Ok white foam fades fast . Smell is sweet, bit aromahop . Seems very natural, too . Taste is pretty bitter . The unidentifies sweetness ( malts ? sugar ? Hop ? ) is also kinda intense ( soapy, almost , or perfumy ? ) Surprising beer , out of the ordinary ( as it should be ! ) Tasty stuff ! Very complex .

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with abundant, stable but airy off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit, malt and caramel with regular hoppy notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of caramel malt and fruit. Bitter finish with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Good, but would be better without the metallic touch.

Flaske delt med Egil og Steven på altanen i sommervarmen: "Ah, wonderfully fragant, crisp and dry and yet depth of flavours, a bit like Duvel" var Stevens dom, og vi underskriver dette.
