Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, pane, cracker, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia amara, mandarino, limone e albicocca.

Bottle from some webshop. Aroma is mild fruity hops, pale malt, tropical fruit notes, touch of orange, slight herbal touch. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and above moderate bitter. Body is medium, bit heavy on the carbonation. Fruity and soft herbal-ish Mosaic, some orange, milder in aroma than I anticipated, soft and smooth.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Hopped with Amarillo and Galaxy instead of Mosaic. Aroma is wheat, zesty citrus, fruity hops, soft tropical touch, orange, lemon, grassy notes, touch of yeast, light floral. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter with a fairly dry finish. Body is medium. Refreshing and easily drinkable citrussy Wheat Ale, good!

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma has tons of dried dark fruits, figs, raisins, resinous hops, malt, caramel, plums, touch of dried blackcurrant, syrup. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is above medium. Nice and hoppy Barley Wine, tasty dried dark fruits, refreshing after I had a string of boozy toffeebomb Barley Wines. Slightly reminiscent of Anchor Old Foghorn, although not nearly as refined.

0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before March 2025. Slightly hazy, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently yeasty-spicy, moderately fruity-floral aroma of banana, lemon peel, some vanilla and a touch of clove. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite yeasty-spicy and moderately fruity-floral taste of banana, vanilla, honey, clove, lemon peel and pineapple, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent Blond, nicely fresh and fruity.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is corn with cereal and soft citrussy hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and light bitter. Watery body. Not a bad 'island lager', pretty good for the style.
