[65cl bottle, 5% ABV] Yellow, hazy colour. Small, white head. Orange juice aroma. Tastes like a mixture of diluted orange juice and vodka. Horrible! If this isn’t a drain pour I don’t know what is!

Bottle pours a clear light amber witha small offwhite head and thin spotty lacing. Light malty aroma. Pale and lagerish with niotes of paper and honey. Flavor is very mild and plain. Slight hop notes for an attempt at balance, which I suppose is achieved as this is a quite light beer. Patton’s quote keeps coming back to me. "I’d rather have a German division in front of me, than a French Division behind me..."

Draught. Citric, nicely spicy aroma. Slightly cloudy yellow colour. Very small head. The flavour is dominated by coriander with some bonbon. A lot of tea flavour, but with some peppery bitterness, the aftertaste getting a bit unpleasant.

650ml nice bottle. Thought it would be much better than the plain one but found out it’s not what I hoped for. A very light beer. At least it accompanies well light meals (chicken ,fish).
