Pours a bright golden color that is crystal clear, with a bitterness which is soft to the tongue and nose and an aroma of fresh hops, finishes crisp with light spicy hops. Well balanced and refreshing with perfect levels of malt sweetness, toasted grain and hops, perfect for Aruba’s tropical climate.

12th March 2025 sees myself and my wife Margie in Aruba for a day (off a cruise ship) and I had this beer in three different bars, twice on tap and once out of a bottle. It's a bright golden colour with a fast fading white head, just like most Lagers/Pilsners. Nothing sets it apart from thousands of other such beers, light malts and a mini-hop bite define it's taste. Pleasant enough in the warm sun and of course a new country tick for me (I did try two more beers from this brewery while on Aruba, neither as good as this).
