This is a steam lager brewed with a touch of smoked malt. Brewed as a thirst quencher that gives fruity character with the crispness and drinkability of a lager. A beer created by the brewers as a rebellion against the hop forward beers they saw as focus of so much attention.

Bottle at home. Aroma of pale malt, lemony fruits, yeasty notes, slight spicy notes. Flavour is moderately bitter. This beer lacks distinct characteristics, it’s drinkable but not memorable.

Bottle. Blonde. Soft citric, slightly perfumed, even a bit woody aroma. Wheaty sweetish flavor, citric, beechwood, slightly perfumed. Floral. A bit weird but refreshing.

(Draught at Italian Job, Chiswick, London, 24 Nov 2018) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with notes of bread, peaches, soft fruit and sweet malt. Malty, slightly fruity taste with bread, peaches, soft malt, sweet mixed fruit and a fairly low bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Mild, but refreshing and fairly tasty. Quite enjoyable.

Flesje gekregen van Tomhendriksen en gedronken met Benzai. Bleek gelig troebel bier met grof schuim dat snel weg trekt. Aroma is zurig. Smaak is beter dan het er uitziet. Het is enigszins bruisend in de mond en smaakt fruitig. Jammer dat de smaak snel weg trekt.

Bottle @ home shared by Inoven. Bright yellow color, huge foamy white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly hay, slightly a distant citrussy hint. Rather sweet though not candy-like but there simply is a complete lack of bitterness. Oh well. Ok.

Fles gedeeld door Koenzie, geprobeerd samen met Roelzie. Het is een troebel lichtgeel bier met een wit schuim. Het heeft een moutige geur. De smaak is moutig, stoffig en wat zuur.
