Bottle picked up from Mr Hop webshop and consumed at home Monday 29th December 2025 listening to ByteFM, not sure what we're having for tea tonight, perhaps Pasta with Gorgonzola and Walnuts or maybe just cheese and crackers. Pours hazy mid gold with a mid sized white head. Fairly typical Belgian style beer, light spicy, soft mouthfeel, there is a little bit of vanilla, easy drinking for the 6.8% it's straightforward but v.decent.
