Clear golden with a foamy head. Grain, straw, stone fruit, slightly metallic, grassy hops, hints of lemon zest. Dry zesty bitterness, malty grainy sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry zesty grainy malty bittersweet finish. Just a solid nice Festbier, nothing too special.

0,5l bottle courtesy of Ryan or Fil. Golden body, white head. Honeyish, bit herbal aroma, quite okay. Bit yeasty, honeyish, dry, herbal-hoppy but largely masty taste, some herbal bitterness in the finish. Solid, though the odd yeasty touch in the finish kinda brought it down for me.

Golden with a lasting white head. Malty aroma with grassy notes and a touch of porridge. Sweetish malty flavour with toffee and biscuit. Grassy hops and a quite bitter finish.

Dark golden to the lightest orange, clear. A quite big relatively frothy white head; decent retention, little lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: cerealy and rather strong caramel malts, perhaps a hint of honey, a soapy feel underneath, some vague/undistinct fruitiness. Taste shows medium to high sweetness and low to medium bitterness, with a quite strong sweet edge in both taste and aftertaste, too much for my liking. Cerealy and caramel malts as per aroma, light honey, again that vague fruitiness, just a touch of herbal hops. Not very polished. A tad below medium bodied with low to medium carbonation; rather easy to drink, slightly oily. Had much better experiences with pretty much any other beer from this brewery, this one was meh.
