26/VIII/15 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: X/2016 (2015-1126) Thanks to Geroen for the bottle!

Clear pale yellowish beer, fizzy crackling white head, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: lots and lots of banana, sweet, band-aid, bit chemical. MF: lots of carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very watery start, some citrus, grassy hops, little herbal. Aftertaste: spicy touch, soft bitterness, very yeasty, banana, watery, fruity touch. No clue what fruit would have been used in this one, though...

Pours clear blonde, no real foam. Smell is spiced. Taste is nicely refreshing. The spice def. shines trough, but in a very balanced way, contributing to a refreshing taste. Its balanced between sweet, bitter and dry. Refreshing, and easy drinking. Perhaps too light of a body for my personal opinion. Good carbonation.
