Can. Cloudwater online. Soft haze on a pale gold. Fine white head. Nose has light toasty grain. Bread crust. Light spicy hop. Touch of dried peel. Taste has a great balance. Light to medium body with foamy, massaging carbonation. Stays crisp and chuggable. Short bitterness to finish. A four pack of this would get done in an hour. No bother.

Bottle online from Hoptimism. Pours lightly hazed red brown with an off white head. Quite acetic, perhaps lacking the balsamic-ness of more established Flanders Red beers but more than makes up with it with punchy vinous flavours. Medium body, light carb, dry tart finish

Can from HBB. It pours every so slightly hazy golden - yellow with a fluffy white cap. The aroma is fresh and clean, doughy white bread, toasty grain, biscuit, floral vibes and grass. The taste is crisp, clean, light and fresh, nice floral character, soda water with a twist of lemon, grass and doughy white bread with a dry finish. Light to medium body and moderate, effervescent carbonation. A well put together lager bier that give a lot for 3.8%.

440ml can ordered online from Hoptimism, drunk at home. Light gold and clear. Visible carbonation but very little head. Light aroma, a bit floral with some hay, corn syrup and caramel notes. Sweet taste with suggestions of honey, winding down to a more balanced finish. Low to medium carbonation. It's a decent lager but not outstanding.
