Basically what you'd expect. A light and herbal beer. Some sweetness, bit malty, light bitterness, and herbal. Did I mention herbal? Quite pleasant, in its own way, not too intense, easy drinking. Oh, and it's pretty herbal. Like someone added shrubs.

Lichtbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter en kruidig met een wat apothekers achtige smaak. Mogelijk komt dat van de gagel. Vind het overigens niet onaardig smaken, wel heel apart.
