Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of saxo. Pours yellow with a slight haze and a white head. Sweet malty nose with a whiff of flowery hops. Medium body, sweet malts with some metallic notes. Very subdued hoppiness. The metal is quite offputting. 160411

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate. Boring beer.

Pours pale gold with a lasting white head.Nose shows potent noble hops, with spicy, grassy and floral notes. Not much malt, but what is there is bready.Flavours are... different. Lots of lemony notes alongside sweet bready malt. Somewhat tangy.Fairly high carbantion does a disservice to the malt.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of citrus, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of straw on a malty and citrusy background, leading to a quite bitter finish. Very thirst quinching.

Bottle. Pours very pale gold with a little haze. White head that leaves lacing. Bread and grass aroma. Punchy light malts with balancing hops. Some sourness at the finish. It was 39C here today and this hits the spot very nicely. Like other beers I’ve had from this lot, notably fresh tasting.
