A prize-winning beer that we brew exclusively for De Bierkoning. The fruity, bitter hops and lightly roasted malt complement each other perfectly in this light brown beer. These flavours are accentuated with a little coriander to produce a full aroma of flowers, citrus and a hint of caramel. An irresistible beer that was crowned in the Brussels Beer Challenge with a silver medal in the Herb & Spice category.

Bottle at De La Gare. Pours very hazy orange with a big cream head. Aroma of salt and vinegar crisps, doughy malt and light fruity hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a touch of acidity that of course shouldn’t be there. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Specialty ale made for De Bierkoning in Amsterdam. Deep amber colour, powerful aroma of sweet spices and perfumes, which are also present in the taste, but well-balanced by a powerful, herbal hop bitter finish. Very nice.
