Tap at Valhalla. Clear pale golden body. Herbal aroma, bit funky, dusty, peppery. Bit empty, mildly dusty, dry, drinkable, lightly flowery, fermented rice touches, vaguely fruity, bit herbal and peppery. Prickly. Exactly what it says it is, well made, chuggable. I mean, can't fault it, but it's kinda sub par by default, a well made sub par style.

Tap at A'E. Hazy golden body, white head. Tart, coriander-driven aroma, bit sickly. Spices abound, with citric notes, in an otherwise clearly infected taste, sickly, off. This is a fair bit fresh, so extremely shameless to unleash this onto the market. I mean, I respect some of the stuff Houblon does, but no excuse for this.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of ripe tropical fruit, citrus and caramel. Pours clear bronze color with large soapy off-white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts medium sweet grainy and dried fruity, following is herbal and bready, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and lively carbonation in palate. Palatable…
