Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, very mild creamy sweetness. Tangy orangey hops. Metallic tangy. Mild hop spice. Some orange peel bitterness on the crispy finish. A bit tangy - metallic to be really crushable.

Can picked up from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte, West Flanders, Belgium consumed Friday 25th May 2018 at a wet start to Bearded Theory Festival. Pours gold with a white head, wow there is lots going on her. Hoppy, really hoppy. Juicy, bitter but with a good bittersweet flush throughout. Tropical, tasty stuff. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov17 4.1
