Delicate floral hop aroma. A subtle, well balanced finish with good character. A pale golden beer, clear tasting, in a continental style.

Pours light gold into an English pint Bright white head quickly recedes and looks soapy on the surface. Tangy sour summer fruit aromas. Soft and light with caramel and fruity malts and grass. Tastes more like a gruit.

Pour is a murky looking yellow with no head at all. Aroma is super sweet with notes of honey and somewhat floral. Flavor is a bit grassy with some dry malts showing up but nothing to make this something to look for. In the end too watery and bland.

Golden colour, small white head. It’s made like traditional Belgian blonde ales; richter and better balanced than the average UK blonde ale. Grassy hops and fruits. Nice one.

Hopfig-süßlicher Geruch, aromatisch. Hopfiger Antrunk, mild, deutlich nach Klostein. Eigen hopfig, etwas komisch und unpassend wirkend. Mild getreidig-hopfig im Abgang, fast wässrig. Danke an Gosingen! Test vom 11.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,8,8,7,13,7 - 7,60
