(bottle from bierkoning) Clear amber coloured body with a medium-sized frothy white head. Citrus fruity, moderately sweet toast-malty aroma, also yeasty and slightly grassy. Medium sweet flavour and taste, a toasted maltiness combined with orange rind on the palate, dry and bitter finish with a touch of grassy hops and notes of coriander. Not a very exciting brew.

Lightly bitter, lightly sweet finish. Quite disappointing. Very unbalanced flavour. There are good elements in the flavour, but it’s a wrong combination. Just like you would combine chocolate with lamb meat.
