Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Helder goudgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht zoet met iets van graan, wat citrus en banaan. Heel goed en makkelijk drinkbaar bier. Klasse!

Pours a hazy blonde, medium small white had. Scent is mild, bit malty. Taste is soft, gentle, malty. Bit fruity, easy drinker. Less prominent on the lager yeast. Surprisingly bland, after I heard good things from fellow geeks. I anticipated on an unfiltered, unpasteurized cristal, but instead got a whole different beer altogether, which even the brewery doesn't wanna call a pilsner. It's easy to see why, as this lacks complexity, intensity and depth, even compared to the average cristal. What a let-down.
