33 cl. bottle poured in to a tulip. Nice hazy, orange-brown colour with a huge, fluffy white head, that fades to a thick cap. Sweet aroma with citrus, spices, yeasts and herbal hops. A bit soapy. Taste is light sweet. Medium body, with a creamy texture, soft carbonation. Average finish with sweet fruits - peaches - and a spicy note. Well made and with a high "drinkability".

i like this one ! it drinks easy as a lager, but it has a taste of a 7 percenter. sweet , kinda reminded me ( at first sips) at nello’s blond ( if you like this one, taste the other ! ) but i realize the diffrence is big. this is ’thinner’ lighter colour,... the cool thing about this one is that they have it everywere in mechelen, even a local 5-beer-bar might have this one ! deffinetley wor(th a try, but the big amount of ’perfum’ and the ’made’ feeling of sweetness in this one makes it a mediocer beer. but a good mediocer beer..

Bottle from Chester Beer & Wine. Poured a slightly hazy gold with a middling white head. Nose was gently fragrant with notes of orchard fruit, yeast and citrus. Smooth and soft mouthfeel. Flavour was yeast driven with some sweetness alongside notes of spices and summer fruit. Dried out somewhat towards the finish. Decent stuff.

Thought this might be a good beer but to me it wasn’t. A weird bitterness and lightly spices or herbs in the taste and smell.

Bottle. Big coriander already in the nose, with pilsner malts, strong yeast. Mostly spice, though. Cloudy gold with a huge, tight head. Lots of coriander again, pilsner malts, fruity, spicy, yeast. Refeshing in this summer heat, but, as echoed before, too much coriander takes over everything. Some hops in the finish, though blanketed by spice.

The beer is a nice refreshing, bitter beer, however, this beer made me very thirsty. It’s quite dry.
