Tap at the brewery. Deep golden color, clear, orange tints, and a fine, high head. Malty, biscuity nose, apricots, peaches, oranges. A bit strong and boozy with sweet malts and stone fruits and esters. Bitter finish. Sweet and strong, not subtle. Light, thin body. Not much happening, for the booziness.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 27 Feb 2015) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with grass, bread, a touch of citrus and dried fruit. Malty taste with notes of bread, dried fruit, peaches, cereal and fresh grassy hops in a finish with a gentle bitterness. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Balanced and quite tasty, but hardly exceptional. Quite drinkable.

Bottle sample at PRNH Meibockfestival. Clear golden colour, thin white head. Aroma of a strong lager, grainy, alcohol, honey, grass. Not great. Flavour is also bordering on cheap strong lager, grainy and grassy with some honey sweetness. Light-bodied. Meh.

Bottle, from trade with Koelschtrinker. It’s a clear, golden beer with an off-white head of moderate size. Malty, sweetish aroma with a nices fruityness. Sweet, malty flavor, some grainyness, and a pleasant fruityness leading into a finish with some bitterness. Medium to full body, quite dry. A straight forward beer, easy to drink and quite tasteful. 091120
