EIn WItbier, das einen vollen getreidigen Körper hat, der in einen fruchtigen Abgang mündet. Es ist vielleicht nicht so würzig, aber durchaus fein zu trinken. So gleitet es leicht die Kehle hinab und hinterlässt einen samtigen FIlm auf der Zunge. Es erinnert ein bisschen an Bisquit-Kekse mit Marillenmarmelade. Ein wirklich tolles Bier.
