Bottle @ home. Clear orange color, medium to full sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a bit old hops, bitter hops, a very distant hint of blossomy hoppiness. Decent body, firm carbonation. Meh at best.

0.33 l bottle from ’Sterk’, best before March 2019. Hazy, orangeish amber with a large, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, moderately fruity and slightly grassy aroma of mango, melon and some grass. Slightly sweetish, moderately bitter, slightly fruity-grassy and a bit watery taste of mango, orange, straw and hints of pine, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite dry and slightly grassy-resiny finish. Thin body, slightly watery and very effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Quite okay for that abv, but too thin and neutral to be really enjoyable.
