A deep red beer with a lazing light brown head. The aroma is of acidic berries combined with light notes of citrus. The flavor is acidic malty - typically for a Dutch beer, with strong notes of berries as well as light notes of alcohol, leading to an end where the acidity bites slightly in the tongue.
