Light blonde with 4.5% alc., generously hopped with the finest aromatic hops, giving it a very refreshing character and a scent reminiscent of citrus.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Hazy blond yellow with a medium white head. Ultra hoppy aroma, citrus and spruce. Taste is bitter and the finish is even more bitter. Ultra crisp beer. Really nice for a low alcohol selection. Could definitely do a session of this. Thirst quenching to the extreme. --- Beer merged from original tick of Taras Boulba on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.

Cette Taras Boulba a eu la malchance de passer juste une après Super Fresca de haute volée. J'aurais dû intervertir. Ces 2 bières ont comme points communs de mettre l'amertume en avant, avec un faible titrage alcoolique sans que cela ne nuise forcément à la puissance et à l'intensité. Mais dans tous les domaines cette Taras Boulba fait légèrement moins bien que la Super Fresca, que ce soit corpulence, longueur, complexité, intensité. Elle en reste tout à fait agréable, sur une amertume brillante et des arômes de pamplemousse, d'herbes et de citron appréciables, surtout qu'elle ne titre qu'à 5,2%. En verre, joli blond paille surmonté d'une mousse blanche d'1 cm. Le nez est sur le citron, le pamplemousse, le citron et un très léger miel. Ce dernier point est d'importance car la base maltée y est très discrète, un peu trop à mon sens ce qui l'empêche d'avoir davantage d'amplitude. La dégustation se centre donc sur l'amertume, fraîche, pour une bière qui se boira à merveille sur la terrasse d'un bar en été.

Pale blonde, cloudy. Citrus and hops in the aroma. Touch of flowers. Somewhere between thin and medium bodied. Well rounded hop character. Good balance. Very refreshing summer beer.

Pale yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is a mix of lemongrass and cereals. Taste is mildly bitter, a bit grainy, with a mild underlying tartness. Medium body, dry, moderate carbonation. Drinkable but fails to be particularly inviting.

33 cl bottle at Rubio's Beer Bar, Madrid. It pours hazy whitish yellow with a nicely lacing, thick, off-white head. Aroma is rather low: hints of lemon, grass and a faulty musky tinge. Very dry start for an otherwise flavorless, indistinct ale. Slightly bitter and very short-lingering finish. But we can always enjoy the interesting and fun art of the label.
