Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is malty and a bit fruity with caramel, yeast, brown malt, touch of oak barrel, dried fruits. Flavour is medium sweet with a mild bitterness. Medium body. Barrel a bit too subtle, but otherwise quite alright.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Brewery #1011. Semi hazed gold with small white top, modest retention. Aroma of yeasty bread, hay, spice, some sweetness. Taste of floury bread, hint of lime, floral to herbal hops and a hint of peppery spice. Medium bodied, spritzy fine carbonation which helps move the spiciness around the palate. Maybe they have improved the recipe over the last few years but to me this is better than than a third quartile Belgium pale ale as per current rating. Really enjoyed it.
