Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 5.5 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 5.5
Bottle shared with Laura on our way to Vlieland. Clear yellow golden color, white head. Aroma is malts, dusty, comes across a bit old. Flavor is malts, dusty bitters, very distant fruity notes, a hint of fruitpeel tart bitters. Decent body, medium carbonation. Hmm not great.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, snow white head. Zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy and sweet-ish, wheaty malty aroma, hints of orange, orange peel, tangerine, some lemon, a touch of unspecific tropical fruit. Taste is mildly bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity hoppy, pale and wheaty malty basis, diluted hints of mandarine, orange, orange peel.
Minimally oily, watery texture, indifferent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather simple and monotonous, quite restrained hop flacours - not convincing.
