ZBF08. Weak white bread aroma. Clear golden colour. Nice big stable, creamy white head. Tastes a bit like Caffrey’s or some boring Irish cream ale. Not offensive of course, but not exciting either. Creamy mouthfeel. Soft to medium carbonation. Malty, sweet finish. 6 3 6 3 13
Bottle, 4.8%. Cloudy brown colour, no head. Very bready aroma and flavour. Oxidized. No BB date. Bad. 3 3 3 3 3

2008 Zythos Bier Festival, Belgium. Spicy, grassy aroma. Great balanced taste that is fresh and flavoursome with just a hint of sweetness coming through at the end.
