Bottled, huge thanks Poech! Murky golden-orange body, scant off white head. Aroma... well... apricot jam, and that's about it, some oxidation. Smooth, sweet taste, apricot maybe, very much not pilsnerish, even if it's imperialish, lightly citric. Hard to imagine this as a lager, or an ale, but as a sweetish Belgian ale, lean, a bit restrained when it came to yeasty notes, why not. Solid beer.

Bouteille 33cl, Carrefour Market, Ghislenghien.
Dorée, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme offre un bouquet malté pils, cara-pâle qui perdurent en retrait, rétro est relevé par les houblons qui tirent sur les agrumes et léger tropical avec une note herbacée et fin fruitée en rétro-nasal - pointe de sureau et fleuri du Hallertau.
Palais ets malté, pils, cara, pâle - note de caramel et impression de crystal avec les 10% qui se font bien présents mais où la bière reste superbement facile à boire.
Pointe fruité tropicale - mandarine, pamplemousse/agrumes avec une amertume plaisante en fin de bouche. Epaisseur de bouche qui apporte une petite note douce.
