Slightly hazy reddish brown colour, beige head. Aroma of red fruits, liquorice, caramel, wheat, toast and spices. Decent hop touch. Light sweet, light bitter flavour. Liquorice, wheat and honey. Quite dry, sweet and hoppy finish.
Nice beer by a nice brewery.

33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Murky brownish color with a small beige head. Smell is weird, wet leaves is what comes to mind. Taste isn’t really great either. It’s drinkable but I don’t really like it. It’s not my style either so that also doesn’t help. Low to medium bodyand carbonation.

33cl swing top bottle, 2.75€, 6%. Pours deep red-brown, hazed, brownish to creamy offwhite head. Nose of roasted malts. Aroma of roasted malts with some dark fruits. Sensible alcohol, some citrus on the hops side maybe, yeast, caramel and a woody thing. Brown sugar sweetness in the beginning then balanced by a moderate bitterness. Medium bodied, proper carbonation. Bready an tasty. This is my second in this style... seems good, probably overpriced and lacking of something brilliant but’s a nice one.

33cl swing-top bottle, 2.75€. Look: Hazy yellow colour, unfiltered, nice creamy white head. Hoppy nose, hmmm! Aroma is prominently hops, with bitter orange peel. Is this a pilsener? More similar to a soft IPA to me... It has an american hop feel in the beginning, then the saaz remain on the tongue. Malts seems a bit subdued, less bready than others, still being smooth. However, aroma focus on the grassy notes, possibly a remain of yeast. Alcohol hardly noticeable. Taste, again, hops does a major role. Minimal initial sweetness and an exciting bitter bite, good and not excessive. Finish is quite long and hoppy, bitter, soft. Body is medium, low carbonation. Overall an unexpected nice surprise, very good when a hoppy one is desired. Price over the average, but hard to find and absolutely worth. Somewhat similar to Urthel Saisonnière.
