Sample @ Rare Country Tick Extravaganza, shared with blackhaddock, thanks Grumbo for this! Pours a pale gold, generally clear with a foamy white head. Aroma of caves and dusty museum manikins, taste is surprisingly wit-bier like with a distinctly yeasty profile, which was unexpected. Actually not bad overall, some mild spice. Interesting.

9th May 2021. The Great World Awakening tasting with Minutmat, assisted by Grumbo (who supplied 8 of the beers). We had 14 beers from 13 different countries as we tried to add some new countries to improve our stats. 11cl sample between us. Golden body, weak head. Mellow, thin bodied, Belgian yeastiness, it grew on me as I sipped and tried to find something nice to say about it.

2/5/2021. Bottle from Marek. Unclear how old this is but is some age due to the brewery being out of production for a number of years. Opened and poured very nicely, crystal clear pale gold with a nice size fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet, grainy, yeasty, fruity, touch spicy, quite saison like which probably wasn’t by design but was actually quite pleasant. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness with a touch of tart. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Sweet finish. Best beer of the day so far.

17/7/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of mtitov and manslow. Country #199. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with minimal head. Aroma of citrus, hops, sweet malt and slight herbal tea notes. Medium plus sweetness, minimal bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, very soft carbonation. Not bad considering.

500ml bottle at the November 2015 DC tasting. Poured a clear, pale golden color with a small white head. Aroma was light corn, touch of very mild malt. Light grain. If it was this or bud light, i would drink this 10 out of 10 times.
