Tap at the brewpub. Ligth amber color, bright, almosy clear, short white head, faint persistence. Aroma of grainy malts and light juicy tones and hints of orange. I can't feel honey here, maybe just a floral touch. Dry finish quite clean. A decent golden ale after all.

33cl Bottle from Hoop, shared at the Where the f*** is Julien?! tasting, thanks Chris for hosting! (Mis?)labeled as a Hope beer, but brewed at Hoop, with a Dutch GTIN. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of some floral honey, light fruity, light grassy, malty. Flavour is likewise, slightly dry, not bad, just not very exciting either. Resembles the King B beer a lot.

Flavour is light malty, buttery, light floral, honey, watery bitterness. Light bodied. Not great.
