On tap at The Blacksmith, Zaandam. It’s a hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma has a nice yeast character, soft and subdued but there with pepper notes, biscuit, soft citrus, light banana and a touch of cloves. Pretty nice!

Bottle on 11th May 2025 from CPK, Pimlico. Pours slightly hazy yellow gold with slowly diminishing off-white foam. Spiced citrus aroma. Intense citrus in-mouth with spiced malts. Finish is malty and spicy with citrus notes fading first. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

On tap at Beer Capital Brussels, pours a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma has a real nice Belgian yeast expression, some spiciness, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour has a wonderfully complex yeast profile, with gentle spiciness, just a touch of rustic character, all while maintaining incredible drinkability. Well-carbonated and clean. Fantastic.

33cL tap at Beer Capital. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Peppery Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has a fantastic Belgian yeast expression, peppery, floral. Insanely good yeast expression.
