Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is amarena cherry, almonds, spicy yeast, wheat. Taste is the same, quite cocktail cherry + almondy. Silky mouthfeel with high carbonation. A bit too sweet.

On tap at MBCC '19, Yellow Session. Good looking in the glass with its bright amber body, and a pearl white head that laced quite well. Mid-sweet smell of brown malts and dried fruits. Ripe fruity flavour joined by bread and a coffee touch towards the ending. Long-lived, semi dry malt-fruity ending. Fine depth. Nice. (10.05.2019).

Tap. Deepest purple color with pink head. Aroma is deep raspberries, light barrel funk. Taste is black raspberries, very juicy, almost jammy, but with enough funk and tartness to be greatly balanced. Just a hint of tannins in the back, dry and refreshing. Okay, this really is worth the praise it gets!

Tap. Clear deep golden color with white head. Aroma is milk, nutty, really nice horchata style. Taste is peanuts, pecan, sugar icing. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Nice in flavours, just very weird to have this in a golden beer.
