Bottle from Waitrose. Clear pale golden body with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of lemon and herbs. Tastes really delicate and refreshing - lemon and straw. Not very complex but extremely drinkable and well balanced. Tastes quite Pilsner-like. Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. A fantastic low-ABV beer.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Very light body, a touch of lemon, crisp and pleasant with a decent taste for such a low ABV. Refreshing but still lacks some bite.

500ml bottle. Pale yellow gold colour, frothy foam white head that diminishes leaving alittle lacing and citrus floral hop aroma. Taste is light malt with lemon citrus hoppiness, some yeasty notes and earthy bitterness. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle at home. Pours a very light yellow with thin white head. Smells a bit toilet-cleanery, too much lemon! Thankfully tastes better, but too bitter for the style. Would try on cask to see the difference, but will not buy another bottle!

Bottle (quite old). Hazy pale yellow color, short frothy white head. Aroma of lemon, citrus, bit soapy. Soft bitter taste, soft sweetness. Easy drinker. Decent stuff.

Bottle at the May De Molen monthly tasting. Poured a clear light straw colour with a broken white head. The aroma is weak malty, leading to a medium bitter, dry flavour with some dry spicy pepperness on the palate. A refreshing beer, but not my style.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks troubles. Clear pale golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma of flowers, tropical fruits, weed and a bit of malt. Dry, bitter and hoppy flavor with light graininess, tropical fruits, grass and a bitter finish. Rather light-bodied. Pleasant and extremely quaffable.

Clear bright pale golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, hops, floral, straw and some spicy notes. Quite bitter flavour, sweet malts. Quite light body, dry, finish citrus.
Lovely pronounced beer, while still remaining mild and balanced. Baffled that I haven’t rated it yet, thought I did long time ago.
(From 50cL bottle @ RBBWG II, Wilrijk 2013. Thanks to who-ever brought this!)
