Bottle, 75cl. Lots of small floaties suspended in this else clear golden beer. A small, white head sits on top. The aroma is mostly fruity, with white sugar and a touch of grass, spices and resins. Lightly peppery. It’s semi-sweet in the flavor, yet it’s dry on the palate, with a nice bitterness. Some flavors of white sugar and spices, and a nice hoppy flavor too. Mostly bitter finish. A quite pleasant one, well worth a revisit. 130215
