0.33 l bottle from ’De Bierhoeder’ as ’De Vlijt De Giro in Nederland’, best before May 2017, in celebration of Marcel Kittel’s second stage win in Arnhem. Clear, luscious red (not pink) with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, pinkish head. Sweetish, grainy and slightly spicy aroma of sweet malts, grains, old bread and some butter. Sweetish, very grainy and slightly spicy taste of caramel, sweet malts, grains, straw and some butter or popcorn, followed by a short, slightly bitter and a little spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not sure about the origins of the colour, but it doesn’t have any influence tastewise apparently. Nothing you should celebrate anything with.
