(bottle, with thanks to quack-duck!) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and slightly yeasty pale and cara-malty aroma with herbal, slightly grassy hops and a subtle fruity touch in the background. Sweet flavour, light bodied with a smooth carbonation. Yeasty, malty taste, slightly bready; slightly viscid, almost sticky, malt-accented and yeasty finish with a tinge of fruitiness (pears) and a very light bitter note. Has deficits in maturation and balance.

Blond color; exaggerated head. The aroma is sweet, paperlike and sour. Light taste again spoiled by some sourness. Another bad fermentation!
