500ml bottle from Terre de Boisson, Calais. Clearish gold pale with thin white head. Some puke on a lemony noble hop aroma. Some cereal too. Yes a touch pukey and not very good cereal or malts. Some continuing lemon through til the end. Some bitterness on finish. A middle of the road helles, with a bit of decent lemony character. Goes ok with strong pepperoni pizza. Still it has flaws

Tap, Quodlibet. Gold body, small white head. Honeyish dry grain malty nose, ok.  Light malty taste, heavy on pollen. Bit too light, almost no hop, really vague. Pollen attack! But not bad.

Flaska från SB. Mörkt kopparfärgad med skum som snart försvinner. Stiltypisk i positiv bemärkelse. Sötlimpa, maripan, fruktkompott med mycket söta äpplen, karamelliserat socker. Känns som en lättare barley wine med rejäl kropp och värmande alkohol som lyfter smakerna men inte stör alls. Riktigt bra.

Deep amber colour with a creamy off white head. Fruity and deep dark malt aroma. Medium pluss body and a fine sweetness. Usually they are too sweet for my liking. This was a pleasant suprise. Rich caramel malt and fruity flavour.
