Lost my rating earlier so tried it again at Van Moll (can). Slightly hazy orange color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, grassy hoppy, light hop bitter. Alright.

Pretty clear yellow blond beer, small creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit floral, perfume, fruity notes, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus up front, little soapy, bitter touch, more fruits, grapefruit. Aftertaste: bit hoppy, grapefruit, floral touch, sweet as well, more fruits, bit resinous in the finish, orange peel, little oxidized.
