473mL can. Pours deep yellow with foamy white head. Aroma has floral and pine hops and light biscuit malts. Flavour also has pine and floral hops at the fore with light malt notes and good level of hoppiness. Well-crafted and very enjoyable.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals bright piney hops, gentle resins, and a thin biscuity malt base. Flavour is robust, with a big piney hop character, gentle resins, a touch of grapefruit zest, and crisp biscuity malt. That piney hop punch is extremely tasteful. Fiulijn has just had his palate ruined by shitty chalky hazies — this is excellent.

Can from the brewery
Blond colour, just slightly hazy. The aroma is mildly piney, but also fruity. Good body, lean mouthfeel; the malt base is not sticky; the hopping is bold, even too much, it gives vegetable bitterness, chicory, harsh resins, and the finish is rather unpleasant.

Clear copper with a decent beige head. Piny and caramel notes. Caramel and pine with a dry finish. Old school.
