Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. Unclear golden body under a big head. Medium sweet, moderate oak, moderate hops, a bit floral and a light funky hint. Quite nice, but somehow I was expecting a bit more from this package.

hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized dense (off-)white head; aroma of woody, balsamic acid, acetone and maybe some fruity-peachy notes; taste is quite similar to the aroma with definite tartness; quite good one
