24/VIII/13 - 33cl bottle @ Bierweekend Lambiekstoempers (Alsemberg) - BB: n/a (2013-795) Thanks to T. for sharing today's beers!

Clear pale yellow beer, huge creamy white head, very stable. Aroma: grassy, some grains, citrus fruits, bit metallic. MF:ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: very metallic start, bitter hops, citrus, some vegetables, zesty, weird touch. Aftertaste: some citrus, sugary, grapefruit peel, weird bitterness, green banana peel, metallic. The metallic in this beer is ruining it for me. Maybe my hopes were too high when I heard that this was brewed with citra hops? Was pretty disappointed at this, and I wasn't alone in this.
