Bottle. Light gold color with a big head. Aroma is weak watery. Taste is also weak, watery, bad flavor upfront and nasty finish.

Very clear golden and straw coloured body with a lightly hazy white and blonde glow, all with a two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of very strong skunkiness when the beer is about five centimetres from the nose (or more), but when you get closer, the beautful yeast esters and complexity dominates with a soft sweetness, a good spicey quality and some floral notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich yeast flavours dominate without much support from malts and no real sweetness, but ample spices and dry biscuity elements give this some character and depth without being even slightly cloying or pungent. Aftertaste is spicey, yeastie and showing some nice floral elements, perhaps to make this seem a bit more elegant, but ths (especially without a large dose of sugars) seems quite low in alcohol and nowhere close to the six per cent range. Overall, a nice and dry herbal and spicey yeastie beer with a soft sweetness,  but little in terms of complexity, depth or range. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Wegman's in Leesburg, Virginia on 10-October-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-November-2020.

Draft pour at Capital One Arena for Capitals game. Poured a very slightly hazy orange color with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma was lots of wheat, banana, cloves. Flavor was light lemon zest, cloves, with banana.

Pours dark gold with a huge white head. Aroma of cloves. Taste has nutmeg, banana and cloves. Palate has herbal notes, nosefeel like a Belgian wheat. Somewhere between a Belgian and a German.

Many thanks for this beer to jacek Wigier (wineofdreams@gmail.com). Piwo ma spora piane nawet trwala, klei sie do szkla zostawiajac slad niczym zdarte opony przy mocnym hamowaniu na ulicy. Jasne zlociste, lekko zamglone. Pachnie podgrzana w radelku kapusta z grochem. W smaku lekko cytrusowe, pszeniczne, owsianka i troche cytrusow, cytryny i limonki. Fajne kwaskowo wytrawne. Zimowe Ale testowane wiosna:)
