Sampled from a 0.5l bottle from #734 that I stole from Cunningham when he wasn't looking. Hopefully he'll never find out - I sure as heck won't ever write that in this rating. In the glass this is a really cloudy straw yellow appearance. A small eventually sidesticking and islandy white head is also present. It smells kinda nice. A tad soapy hoppy bitter with lots of hay and some wheat sweetness. Light citrus is a present here. Smells nice. Tastes nice also. Really refreshing and easy to drink. It's not to impressive in the mouth but as a lightweighter it's not eatery at all. About average on the big bubbles. Hay and wheat sweetness. Some grassy punch also here. Something that works good in the sun. Preferably at a beer festival. In Drammen. A this bench that I'm sitting on right now. 24.05.2014

Bouteille 50cl, batch# 781, BB 30/06/2015. Dorée, col épais blanc. Arôme est fruité avec un rétro portant fièrement la signature belge de levure. On retrouve un côté rustique qui est ponctué par des effluves fruitées tirant vers les agrumes et un léger tropical - mangue. Palais est axé sur le fruité tropical tout en gardant les mêmes consonances que l’arôme à savoir un profil rustique bien belge sans pour cela se valoir d’une véritable saison hennuyère. On retrouve un profil centré sur les grains, une pointe d’amertume houblonnée arrive en fin de bouche et apporte avec elle un contraste bien fruité.

Bottle at home. Pours a golden straw colour with a huge, off-white, compact head. Pretty carbonated. Pale malt in the aroma along with hay, sweet corn, fruity Belgian yeast, pepper and some lemon. The flavour has more pale malt, herbs, grass, dry hay and grassy hops in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, and a balanced bitterness. Pretty tasteful and easy drinking beer. Well balanced and well brewed.
