Our flagship beer, and firm daily favourite, is a classic European Pale Ale. Golden, crisp and bitter with a floral aroma owing to Slovenian and Czech hop varities, carrying notes of lemonbalm, tangerine, minerals and a touch of white pepper. Modelled after the late 19th century predecessors from Burton-on-Trent, it is one of the very few examples existing of a Burton Pale Ale.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ Biernavigatie.nl. Cloudy amber with a thin white head. Sweet fruity hoppy aroma. Taste is also sweet but with a bitter ending. Rather abrupt ending aftertaste which is a shame because the beer gets better with each sip.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a fruity note with a bit of grass and a light grain backing. Flavor has more of bitter grass note with a hint of a backing grain.

Hoppy Blond beer, with tasty notes of fruit. Had a fresh mouthfeel as well. Nice.

(Bottle, In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 27 July 2013) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with citrus, grapefruit, orange peel, a slightly metallic malt character and spicy hops. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, crisp-bread and a dry finish with a generous resinous bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well made. Nice one.

Bottle, 6%. Yeasty aroma, malty and semi-refreshing, sweetish with a little booze. Slightly hazy golden colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour is bitter and yeasty. The bitterness is a little high and quite rough. Good mouthfeel. Has a fine floral hoppiness, or perhaps it is a faint spiciness in the finish. I did not like it much at first, but it became better with each sip.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit, flowers and malt with notes of alcohol. Bitter, hoppy flavour with pronounced notes of fruit and malt. Bitter finish. OK although the aftertaste is rather too bitter.

Tap at the Den Haag festival 2013. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head. A lively beer. The aroma is yeasty with a little resin. The flavour is rich, full-bodied, medium bitter. The bitter flavour sticks in the palate and the finish forever.
