Bottle from a local supermarket. Spicy and flowery aroma with sweet pale malt, ripe fruit, some overripe banana, and some alcohol. Flavour is sweet and mildly boozy. Not bad per se but so-so, rather sweet and the noticable alcohol doesn't help.

Bottle 0,30ltr: Clear golden colored brew with an very sweet taste and some burning alcohol, well hidden is the bitterness. But this one is back and remember the sweetness, nothing is changed.

0.3 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', best before August 2023. Clear, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, malty, gently yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, vanilla and clove. Quite sweet, malty, gently yeasty-spicy taste of banana, vanilla and clove, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, slightly boozy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Cheap BSA, drinkable but far from great.

Love the maltiness. Like a big red ale. Caramel creamy just the right balance with the very mild bitterness. Albert heijn ams
