Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Dedollewaitor. Pours a clear golden with a dense and lacing white head. Sweet fruity nose with a little yeast. Solid body, very, very sweet fruit - almost cloying - a little much. A touch of metal. Absolutely no hops. 120910

Huge, towering, initially very uniform and dense light-yellowish head, leaving textbook lace over golden-copper clear beer. Coloured and toasted malts, yeast notes and some nondescript hops, very "beery" nose; some alcohol, suggesting sweetness to come. Sweet, but not overly sweet taste, with again toasted malts; cooked, dried hops, wheat. Warming up, fruity esters. Unlikable sticky MF, and alcohol obvious, near-cloying. Alcoholwarming very present, going on and on in the throat. Not very distinctive, bit aggressive beer. No technical defects, of course.
