Aromas are malt, dry grass and a little bit of Belgian yeast. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly on the sweet side with enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Drinkable but nothing special at all.

330ml bottle at Hops & Bottles. Cloudy golden pour, ring of bubbly white head. Fruity aroma, hint of Belgian yeast, notes of lemon, bread dough. Taste opens with some light Belgian yeast character, fruity, biscuity than tapering off to a light crisp hoppiness at the finish. The best of Belgium and Germany rolled into one. Consider me a fanboy .

Bottle. Wheat malt aroma with notes of orange citrus, coriander, lemon and clove. Pours cloudy pale golden colored with a large soapy white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with wheat malt, orange and clove flavors. Finishes smooth and refreshing though a touch dry with lemon and coriander flavors. Excellent wit.
