Can picked up from Beer Republic, Nr Breda, Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 20th March 2022 listening to FM4 and about to cook Meatballs with Cuttlefish in the wood oven. Pours orange, good clarity, white head. This is interesting because the sweetness bitterness ratio is almost there and yet it feels a little off kilter, fruity, malty, dry, very dry finish. Thick in the mouth, a little caramel, citrus is prominent. Quite good.

Taster showing pale amber with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows a strong malt back bone with moderate notes of pine and pineapple. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Malt forward with light notes of pine throughout followed by a strong pine bitterness on the finish with more malt.
