Celebrating as it looks as if the CEO role is in the bag! But many last words and all of that..... Anyway, can at home. This is a homage to a Belgian blonde, all the right flavours, but just missing that X factor.

Can at home while preparing dinner. Looks great in the glass, but the taste is a bit too much on the weird side for me. Lots going on for the abv, but not something to revisit.
