Bière pression. Les notes grillées et mentholées se marient parfaitement pour donner une saveur intense et originale. C'est un véritable plaisir de la déguster, surtout directement chez le brasseur à Amsterdam. J'ai vraiment apprécié chaque gorgée et je la recommande sans hésitation. Si vous avez l'occasion de la goûter, n'hésitez pas !
