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!

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.
