Fles gedeeld door Roelzie. Het is een troebel oranje bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige wat zure geur. De smaak is wrang en citrusachtig.

Tap, ’t Arendsnest Amsterdam. Orange blonde color. Just a touch of flowers in the aroma. Nice tangerine and flowery hop flavor initially and something sharp citric in the aftertaste. Enjoyable when served fresh.

Nose is tangy citric rinds, bread dough, light yeast, lemon jus, subtle sour vibes. Taste comprises more bready notes, light vanilla, citric peel, apricot, touch of funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough stuff.

Draught at Bar Le Duc
Cloudy golden color with compact head. Some smell of refined sugar and vegetables. Dry mouthfeel, with quite nasty flavor of yeast and vegetables, difficult to believe this is the self defined Pils.
Bad.

Bottle at Dean’s Pale Lager tasting, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma weak yeast and a little malt. The flavour is weak bitter with a dry slightly sour medium bodied palate. Ok, but I would not buy again.
