In the early days this was the last beer to be brewed before the warm summer season. It had an increased alcohol percentage so it would last longer. Regularly looking pint, white head. Thin aroma and taste, some more malts and sweetness than a pilsner. Fresh mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation

Thuis in de tuin een blik gedeeld met Mark. Gezien het abv wat tegenvallend. Mooie omschrijvingen op het blik, maar gewoon een helder stevig pils. Niet bijzonder.

Rocky off white head stayed on a translucent, slowly carbonating copper coloured body. Faint aroma of dark berry, malt & sugar. Medium bodied, soft on the palate with clean back. Heavy spicy tastes with syrup, honey, stone fruit, apple & pepper.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Tilburg (I presume). Pours clear dark golden with a lasting, foamy, off-white head; little lacing. Not too inviting aroma of hand soap, spicy phenols, band aid, grass, white pepper, ripe banana & apricot. Taste is medium fruity sweet, estery, ripe banana & apple, and light spicy bitter, phenolic with yeast & grass notes; faint sourish wheat in the back, weird band-aid effect. Dryish, spicy & grassy hoppy finish, phenolic; grainy & alcoholic effect, bit wry. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Nope, not that good, nothing artisan about it, I can taste InBev has a hand in this now.

Fles gekregen van Roelzie. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met stevig wit schuim. Het aroma is fris en hoppig. De smaak is lekker vol.

0.3 l bottle from ’AH’ (Groesbeek), best before September 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of caramel, vanilla, honey, some clove and a touch of banana. Rather sweet, malty and quite yeasty-spicy taste of caramel, clove, banana, honey and vanilla, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy, almost peppery finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not a Bock, quite some top-fermenting yeast character, but drinkable and overall not bad.

Bottle shared in Watford. Cheers to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has some cheap, doughy malts, faint honey, crispy caramel. Heavy sweet flavour with some gummy candies, bread, jammy citrus, a little alcohol, crusty bread. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary finish, faintly warming, more lightly toasted sugars. Not all bad.
