Slightly hazy gold beer. Lagerish malt nose. Light palate,dry. Lagerish malt with a nasty dusty streak. Orangey mildly bitter hops before the semi dry finish. Low carbonation. A dirty insipid beer.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. It pours clear copper with near white head of foam. The aroma offers up mild tartness mixing with citrus and tropical fruit notes as well as a faint apple juice sensation. The taste delivers spicy hops and then a mix of tangelo and mango fruitiness. This is smooth tasting pretty much hop forward brew and dangerously drinkable at 9%, very dangerous. It seemed like a 5% beer.

Taste: mocha, coffee in the start, pretty sour touch, then lots of bitterness with fruity notes. Aftertaste: strong black coffee, bit of alcohol, little grassy, caramel in the finish.
