Tap. Rather clear golden color with white head. Aroma is grainy, bready, a touch vegetables, a touch grads. Taste is the same, with some ideas of honey which is unusual for a Lager at this strength. Medium carbonation. It is refreshing, but not that great.

23/IX/17 - on tap @ Borefts Bierfestival 2017 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2017-1697) Thanks to ratebeerians and friends for sharing today's beers!
Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: yeasty, malts, grains, spicy, weird, bit unpleasant. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: grains, hay, cow fodder, pretty boring. Aftertaste: metallic bitterness, unpleasant malty finish, nope, don't like this one...
