Draught Very stable, dense & ultrafine white head, over faintly veiled, yellow-ochre beer. Citrussy, lambic-y, lemon, lemon dishwasher liquid. Some wheat, citrus, flowery, and a dry yeast flavour - which is strange indeed. Dried, syrup-preserved lemonslices. Very light body, seems totally attenuated. Intended for matching (fish)dishes - OK with that. But it misses some beef (pun intended) when on itself.

Draught Huge, very dense & fine cream head with beautiful lace over dark ruby-garnet beer. Rich vinous, near liqueurish nose with red fruit and wood. Old wood, portwine, red fruit, again very vinous. Light touches of milkchocolate with raisins. Very velvety MF, rich, voluptuous, yet the carbonation conveys a fresh touch. Excellent; A sweet wine version of oud bruin. Second try even better. Nose with old wood, brandy- and winebarrels, banana, strawberry, preserved orange. Red fruit on brandy in the mouth. Really pleasing sipping beer. Was 3.9/5 > upgraded
