Every year it is a blond beer of 6,5%, but each year we do things slightly different. We change the hops, for fun and to experiment. As always, the balance in flavours is key! This year we skillfully combined some new German hop varieties to dry-hop the beer with. This gives us a true explosion of exotic fruit and flowers in the nose. When we taste the beer, these aromas stick with us, but they become more complex and are joined by some resinous notes. It really is like biting into a hop flower! The beer is structured by its malty undertone, and is refreshing because of her delicate bitterness. The touches of fruit and bitterness melt together in her finish, which gives the beer a both dry and silky finale.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear gold with a frothy, pure white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of dried pine, tangerine peel, a little yeast, crispy biscuits, grass. Light to medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Dry finish, fairly bitter, more grass, sun-kissed pale malts. Good stuff.

Flaska från SB. Disig ljusgul vätska med högt stabilt kritvitt skum. Sötare än jag minns, stenfrukt, citrusskal, örter och kryddor. Gott

Flaska. Mango, frukostflingor, bakjäst, övermogen frukt, dova örter, gräs. Hög bitterhet. Torr avslutning. Mjuk och rund munkänsla.

Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Bright fruity hoppy aroma with orange and lime, peach, apricot and pineapple, and De La Senne house character spice. Dry, fruity and spicy flavour with a light bitter finish. Great as always, perhaps a bit juicier than usual.

Op tap bij In de Wildeman. Mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Floraal, herbaal, licht kruidig/peperig, licht funky, droog, citrus, citroenschil, flink bitter. Lichte body. Is dit bier echt elk jaar anders...? Hoe dan ook, wederom erg lekker.
