330ml bottle, L 202, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Crocheted lacing from a pearl white head, misty late straw coloured body. Moderate smell of dusty hops, yeast, and mid-sweet malts. Mixed taste of toffee, yeasty fruitiness, and wheat. Mild hop fruity finish with alcohol. Drinkable, but nothing to get too excited about. (Tromsø, 15.06.2025).

Sharing this beer with Stéphane along the Seine, yesterday, at Paris. Much better than the fischer. A beverage on the Belgian way, boozy, malty, fruity, subtle touch of sweetness, regular hop, pleasant at the palate, a typical Belgian ale, 17.04.2022.
