Thanks to Dobbe for the (distinct) bottle!
Pours clear pale golden with a small, frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains yeast, spices, hops, some fruits (apple), 'champagne', some banana. It tastes light fruity sweet and medium spicy bitter with champagne-like qualities that remind me a bit of Duvel. Dry, bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft fizzy carbonation. Well-made.

Bottle @ RBBWG 2017. Many thanks for sharing! Very pale yellow colour, white foam. Nose of wheat, lemon grass, citrus, some coriander and other spices. Not bad, but nothing special.

Bottle share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Dorée pâle, col blanc. Arôme au nez marqué de grains - froment, effet rétro concassés et un fruité d’écorce en rétro-nasal. Palais est fruité virant sur la mandarine qui reste plutôt plaisant sans être transcendant. Malt pils - froment sorte de blanche mais sans voir un impact attendu de la levure de champagne. Petite touche verte houblonnée restant noble avec un fini légèrement épicé et fleuri. Correcte, mais rien, sauf la bouteille, qui apporte du changement à une scène belge en manque d’inspiration.

Sampled at the RBBWG2017 . Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours very clear, very light yellow. Smell is citrussy, unfresh malts. Taste is bit bitter, cheesy, clear wheat. OK at best, yet miles above the ’testversion’ sampled at Modeste 2016.

White head, pale, light-golden, veiled beer. Sweetish herbs & spices, and a bit peppery finish. Sourish, lactic acid, citrus(peel), lemon, wheat. Light body, well-carbonated. Oh well, nothing amiss. But the package is more interesting than its contents.

Thank you Rubin77! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). BBF 13-10-2018. First batch of this was apparently horrendous, even the guys from Lion disowned it. Kraddel who tried it assured us that this one is much better but it is still horendous. Very pale, fizzy industrial white head. Nose is metallic, watery, mineral soap, faint vegetables, hugely unpleasant metallic & mineral qualities. Taste very watery, soap heavy, rotting grains, alternative grains used give it this low rotting yoghurt quality, combined with fizzy mineral, low vegetable broth notes,... Sparkling watery body. Other found this to be passable, I found it to be abysmal, hugely unpleasant. Bottle looks nice ’though.

Bottle. Highly carbonated, gushing a bit, hazy pale yellow. Thin bodied, easy drinking. Thin in terms of character too, only light phenolic spiciness.
