500 ml. bottle sampled thanks to tderoeck! Super pale golden, little white golden. Nose is off-putting skunky mineral watery apple, oily, lemon cleaning agent. Taste is oily irons, sweet falt awful apple, faint skunk. Near flat, very watery, unpleasant off-putting oily rotting apple notes. Really bad even by country tick standards.

Bouteille de 50cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme au nez malté, pils léger pâle avec une petite note houblonné noble en pellette mais restant trop neutre. Palais est malté, poussiéreux, grains malté avec une certaine douceur persistante en fin de bouche. Fin est sec et finement houblonné, gardant un côté métallique sur la fin.
