Small rim, over cola-coloured beer. Sweet, syrup, molasses, maple, bit peppery nose and vanilla. Dry-herbal flavour, bit of lavender, mild roast, serioiusly different from the nasal aroma's. Quite carbonated feel, slick, but light for its ABV. Not very special.

2 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to tderoeck, 77ships, Jerre, Kevin & Anke! Small sample. Hazy pale yellow with a lasting, unstable, frothy, white head; little lacing. Aroma of grain, grass, straw, unripe apricot, yellow apple, soap. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of apple & apricot with sourish edges of wheat & lemon peel, rendering it somewhat soapy too, light grainy bitter note, bit 'raw'. Dryish, grainy, wheaty finish, lingering apple & soap. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Bit too raw, just okay.

2 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to tderoeck, 77ships, Rubin77, Jerre, Kevin & Anke! Hazy dark brown-black with a lasting, small, foamy, beige head; some lacing. Aroma of coffee roast, raisin, fondant, black tea, caramel, blackcurrant, toast. Taste is light malty sweet, some caramel & chocolate with a nutty edge, not very outspoken; light roasted bitter middle has toast, 'basic' coffee pad, faint fondant & a tea-like herbal touch. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering toast, coffee pad & chocolate. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Unconvincing, too basic, needs finetuning.
