(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 23 Aug 2014) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of bread, peaches and grassy hops. Malty, hoppy taste with bread, cereal, citrus, lemon peel and a generous grassy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh and tasty pilsener with a generous hop character. Quite nice.
