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.

33cl bottle at the GBK at the O2 before the ELO concert. A hazy pale straw colour with a billowing white head; yeasty aroma; fresh herbal bitterness int eh mouth with a light biscuity malt body and some citrus; then a bitter finish with more yeast. Clean and refreshing, but not as hoppy as advertised.

Bottle from a beer supermarket in Belgium. Maybe a mean score but this beer is just so average. It has some nice belgian feelings but not that hoppy despite what they say. Lots of sediment. Some milky tastes. (2/10/2018) ---- Bottle from Systembolaget. Decided it was worth a rerate. 2.7 to 3. A very light and pleasant hopped ale. I missed any sense of Belgian vibes and it felt like the body was not enough to carry the quite strong bitterness at the end.

Hazy, sligthly opaque golden with a middle sized white head that shows decent retention and some lacing. Fresh and quite bright aroma has a slight crackery/cereal base and citric fruitiness among a refreshing grassy feel. It's not peculiar or deep but it's intense and highly refreshing. Taste follows aroma, maybe a bit less bright. Start is semi-sweet with a clean-cut dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation, lively but still easy enough in the mouth. Overall a well-made, nicely refreshing ale.

33cl bottle. Golden colour with a light hazy, big frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of light spices, yeast, citrus, hay. Taste of citrus fruits, zest, light herbal/spiciness, yeast, bready malts, crisp and refreshing. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Nice to find a Belgian Ale that's sessionable.
