Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy golden/copper pour, two finger frothy white head. Long lasting, very good retention. Lots of thick lacing on the glass. Grainy nose, wheat, floral notes, a bit perfumy. Thin body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, goes down quite nicely. Herbal bitter taste, mild sweetness in the background, good balance. Aroma of lager malt, wheat, grains, citruses. Strong herbal and grassy character, earthy, lingering floral notes. Long lasting finish, dry, moderately bitter. Solid thirst quencher.

Bière bouteille 33 cl. Consommée sans doute après sa date de consommation optimum vu qu'elle n'est plus produite. Robe ambrée, pas de mousse. Nez sur les céréales, bouche amère, une bière basique et correcte.

Bière 33 cl achetée au comptoir irlandais. Blonde claire à carbonatation faible. Tres légère en bouche, pointe d'amertume pas hyper agréable. Sans grand intérêt.

50cl bottle @ Niamey craft beer tasting club, merci Gabi.
BB 13/05/2020.
Dorée au col blanc.
Arôme au nez plaisant houblonné fruité avec de belles notes de fleur et un léger rétro de grains malté.
Palais est malté, léger, avec une petite composante anglaise dans le malt, parfumée au niveau des houblons, impression de citronnelle.

Bottle from Colin. Pale yellow, airy, frothy head fades. Grassy yeasty aroma, savory. Taste is more of the litght malts and saison yeast, and a nice coriander, peppery snap.

Can. Gusher with massive amount of foam. Aroma and flavour have very pleasant soft floral hop notes and citrus peel. Carbonation is way too aggressive.
