Pours a little flat. Some honey in the aroma. Flavour is a little bit metallic and very slightly sweet. Alcohol flavour is quite dominant considering it’s only 6.6%

Pale yellow cloudy liquid topped with a bright white head that thins out quickly. Clean fresh taste. Not too sharp, not too sweet. A little spicy but overall quite light on flavour. Very refreshing and thirst quenching white beer.

Bottle. Cola like colour with almost no head or carbonation. Aroma of red fruits with a slightly sour edge. A bit woody in the mouth, the flavour was of caramel with some dark fruits. Finish was again slightly sour. Very drinkable for a beer of this ABV.

Bottle: Pours a golden color with a soft bubbly head. Aroma is rich malty yeast with a hoppiness to it. The taste is zesty malt with just enough hoppy attributes to keep a strangle hold on your taste buds. Very impressive.

33 cL bottle. Aroma of caramel malt and sour dark fruit. Color was ruby tinged brown, with a beige head that was furious and stayed. Definite sour note as the glass approaches the lips. Thin to medium bodied. Near creamy, from moderate carbonation. Not all that sweet, and there is a thrilling sour note running through it. Very pleasant. The malty sweetness is fairly balanced by the sour and light bitter. Not tremendously complex, but much more so than many. It really is nice to have in the mouth. The finish is touch of oak, dark fruit skin, touch of sour, a hint of bitter. Just excellent. Refreshing.

Big coarse white head. Yellow body with strong carbonation. Strong ripe fruit aroma with a hoppy soft metallic and spicy background. Dry fruity taste with spicy, peppery notes and again the softly metallic hops. Sharp, peppery, almost hot mouthfeel. Dry, thin mealy metallic aftertaste. Very nice. (0.33l bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp.)
