Very light-clear amber; head restricted to white rim, even that dissipating. Superb honeyish nose - I ought to say nose of nectar from nectar-laden blossoms. Pity it's the only thing. Taste is a combination of overyear hops and honey (reading the other comments makes me wonder if we drank the same stuff). I like this. One thing, however, it is indeed very one-dimensional. The longer the beer stays around, the more it loses. Watery palate. Faint honey flavour marking the aftertaste. Well - if its taste would be as shockingly attractive as its nose, it would be a worldbeater. If only.

Clear golden color, short ugly frothy head, quickly disappearing. Quite large foam bubbles. Aroma of skunky and rotten hops, horseblanket. Taste is not much different from a cheap pilsener, maybe a bit more malty. This one was very disappointing as the Gulpener Brewery usually makes some quality beers...
