Pours clear blonde, large white head of average-low stability. Bottle shows a very flaky, lot of yeast. Scent is mild on the typical BE yeast, but not absent. Mild on fruity american hops. Surprisingly pleasant, less boring than feared. Taste is sharp, quite bitter. Oily mouthfeel, protesting yeast it seems - yet I repeat, the aroma isn't as high as you'd expect. Perhaps (too) warm fermented, low aromatic yeast ? (Very) High carbonation. Mild on the hops, very mild on the malts. Chewy, a bit. Hiding the ABV very well - drinks like a 5-6 beer. Decent, I like the concept of going away from the overly sweet, banana-type BE blonde - but this in itself seems like it can benefit from a bit tweaking.
