(Can) Cloudy golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with pineapple, passionfruit, orange, honey and herbs. Fruity, hoppy taste with tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, honey, grapefruit and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tropical, hoppy and juicy. Very nice.

Tap at Zil verne. Med-full body, light oatiness. Medium carbonation. High sweetness, with a lot of over-ripe fruitiness, yeasty esters, strawberry, berries in general. Hops seem to be muted. No opera here,garage rock at best. Medium bitterness, assertive earthy grassy hop burn. Grassy, over-ripe and ungood.
