Buying this beer at Heinrich 3000, february 2024. Best before 03/25, drinking it two days ago, at Epalingea. A classical Belgian ale, I could say basic, malty, smooth, sweet, fruity, classical bitterness, a bit watery, refreshing.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale straw coloured pour with a thin white head; cucumber aroma; very thin and watery with a cucumber and melon taste; then a light spicy bitterness. Not a favourite.

Cask at Square Peg, Birmingham. Pours a pale straw with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s melon and cucumber in the aroma. In the mouth it is decidedly sharp but with a little underlying sweetness. Flavours of citrus, lemon, cucumber and melon plus traces of tropical fruits and kiwi later on. Sharpness lasts into the somewhat dry finish. This is reasonable – more sharp / tart than sour though.

Amber colour, steady white head. Very English flowery, a bit honeyish, hoppy nose. Light-bodied. Piney, honeyish, flowery flavour. Some fruityness. Solid English IPA.

30/9/2025. Draft at The Cherry Tree, Woodbridge. Pours okay. Aroma is citrusy, grapefruit, lightly tropical, grassy, hay. Moderate sweetness, moderate to medium bitterness, slight tart edge. Moderate body, average carbonation. Quite a drinkable lager.
