Tap at Farmhouse Pride 2026, in Pianoro, Italy. Pours golden, partially transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is cereal, a little smoked and fruity. Body is average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is medium bitter, with some good underlying sweetness. Final is average.

On tap. Pours a dull amber with moderate foamy head. Aromas of banana, floral esters, a bit of coriander and soft wheaty malts. Flavors follow same. Definely get the blend of the Triple and Extra. It’s a thinner version of the Triple IMHO. Lower alcohol and cost savings?

Fresh Draught @ Delaneys, Odense. Pours cloudy Golden Yellow with a creamy head. Esters , a touch of banana bread and green and herbal hops with a nice bitter finish. It was what I hoped for. Reminding me to drink Westy blond more often. 4.2. Super.
