Golden colour, rich head, good lacing. Faint yeasty aroma. Marzipan and alcohol-flavor. One-dimensional and boring.

Dark golden. Medium head. Discreet citrus-aroma with a touch of rubber. Medium bodied. Not much flavour to speak about, a bit of alcohol maybe. There's nothing wrong with this beer..... it's just so faceless and.......boring.

Colour of medium-strong tea, very clear. Very thick, foxy head, irregular. Bread, yeasty smell, ambrée malt, very slight hopnose. Bitterish taste. Quite some malt underneath. Nice hop finish, but with some liquorice. Mouthfeel is a bit watery, but very clean palate. None or little aftertaste.

Nice golden color. Didn't know what to expect, and it turned out fine. Certainly not bad.
