(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 26.01.2020, from a supermarket, 20191221) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, fruitiness and Belgian style yeast. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. A brew with good elements but all were too thin.

Bottle. Amber color. Floral aroma with a hint of caramel. Thinnish, soft floral hopbitter flavor with apple, plum and caramel. Nice and easy moderate hopbitter finish. Well balanced, well made, maybe a bit boring.

A very good attempt at making something tasty yet easy. Quite sweet, very floral but with a nice grainy bite to it. Easy drinking, quite flavorful. They actually used some hop in this beer, remarkable. Maybe one of their better beers!

Malty bitter, refreshing with nice floral hops and a round fresh bitter floral and slightly grainy aftertaste. Very nice refreshing!

0.3 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Nijmegen), best before November 2018. Crystal clear, deep amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, quite fruity, gently grassy and slightly yeasty aroma of lemon peel, fresh grass, a touch of banana and traces of clove. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, rather fruity-grassy and a bit yeasty taste of lemon peel, fresh grass, pineapple, some vanilla, a touch of banana and hints of clove, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently grassy and slightly yeasty finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very pleasant beer, way hoppier than expected, especially considering that it's already close to the bb date. Nice surprise!

Thuis uit een flesje op 7-9-18. Een prima pilsje, valt zeker niet tegen en een lekker bitter smaakje.
